THE PAUL D. BOWLEN MEMORIAL BRONCOS CENTRE On March 5, 1990, the Denver Broncos moved into the Paul D. Bowlen Memorial Broncos Centre, the state-of-the-art headquarters for the National Football League team. The complex is named for the Broncos owner’s late father and is the culmination of Pat Bowlen’s desire to maximize a positive working environment for his football team, which captured back-to-back World Championships with victories in Super Bowls XXXII and XXXIII. During the offseasons leading up to the 2004 and 2005 campaigns, the Broncos made significant upgrades to the facility to make it one of the elite training centers in all of professional sports. The Broncos spent much of the 2005 offseason completely renovating and redesigning their locker room while adding several state-ofthe-art features to the spacious area. The club installed brand new maplewood lockers that are 8.5 feet tall and 3 feet wide. All locker stalls include power and data outlets that provide high-speed Internet access. Additionally, the general layout of the locker room was enhanced to bring offensive and defensive players closer together while at the same time efficiently utilizing the size of the area. This improvement in 2005 came one year after the club invested $4 million to the facility in an expansion project that significantly upgraded several areas of the complex. That construction project included: • The Broncos Conditioning Center, which houses the team’s weight room and an indoor conditioning area along with a new home for the field-maintenance departments. The weight room is nearly three times the size of the previous one at approximately 9,000 square feet, which gives the Broncos one of the most comfortable strength-and-conditioning environments in professional sports. The indoor conditioning area—covered with FieldTurf™, which the team also uses on one of its three outdoor practice fields—spans approximately 18,000 square feet. • A training room that increased in size with additional hot and cold tubs for players’ use. • An eating lounge that seats approximately 120, allowing the team to conveniently handle the food-service needs of players, coaches and staff during training camp and throughout the year. The lounge is part of the existing building, taking over the space previously occupied by the weight room. The Broncos’ facility—situated on 13.5 acres in the rapidly expanding Dove Valley Business Park in south Arapahoe County—also includes an administrative building and three full-size practice fields to go along with the Conditioning Center. The Bowlen Memorial Broncos Centre is a two-story building totaling 90,000 square feet, well over three times the size of the team’s previous facility. The ground floor houses the main entry, visitor’s area, trophy display area and media room in addition to the football-related facilities, which encompass the locker room, meeting rooms, training area, equipment room and video department. It is on the second level, which is accessible through two stairways adjacent to the lobby area, that most of the administrative offices are located. These include the offices for Pat Bowlen, Joe Ellis, John Elway, Brian Xanders and John Fox as well as those of all assistant coaches and football operations personnel. The second floor is divided into one wing for administrative offices and another for coaches and player personnel. The Broncos’ extensive computer operation also is located on the second floor. The Bowlen Memorial Broncos Centre also includes a separate building that houses two racquetball courts for training and leisure use by players and staff members as well as a team store. There is ample practice space available for use by the Broncos on the three outdoor fields—two with natural grass surfaces and one with FieldTurf™, completed in June 2003. FieldTurf™ is a synthetic blade surface with a rubber and sand infill. One of the two grass fields has a unique design system that includes underground wiring to prevent the turf from freezing and thus allows the Broncos to practice year-round on unfrozen natural grass. 7

PAT BOWLEN OWNER

AND

CEO

at Bowlen enters his 28th year as Owner and Chief Executive Officer of the Denver Broncos in 2011, and his tenure of ownership is indelibly stamped as one of the most successful periods for any team in National Football League history. Still the only two-decade owner of a major league sports team in Colorado history, Mr. Bowlen presides over a franchise that is one of the crown jewels among NFL clubs. By any definition, the Broncos are at the pinnacle of professional sports franchises. The Denver Broncos are the soul of the city, Mr. Bowlen serves as the owner and steward of this sterling franchise, and the legend of both team and owner are marked by achievement and success at every level. Whether judged by the measure of wins and championships, attendance, national television exposure, or by his and the Broncos' reputation locally and throughout the NFL, there are few parallels in the world of professional sports. The Denver Broncos have grown from being Denver's first major league franchise in 1960 to Colorado's state religion, and Mr. Bowlen wants to continue that fervor for the coming season. His focus for 2011 is to have the Broncos return to the postseason contention to which both franchise and fans have become accustomed. The Broncos' CEO has fashioned a powerful reputation among his peers as a bold, dynamic leader who is single-minded in his pursuit of excellence, whether representing the Broncos, the city of Denver, the state of Colorado or the National Football League. His status and reputation as an owner were recognized within the state on April 10, 2007, when Mr. Bowlen was inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. Denver has averaged 10 wins per season in Mr. Bowlen's 27 years of ownership with the club's 270 total victories ranking second in the AFC and third in the league. The Broncos' five Super Bowl appearances, including back-to-back Super Bowl wins during the 1997-98 seasons, under Mr. Bowlen represent the second-highest total in the NFL. In addition, Denver's 262 national television appearances under Mr. Bowlen are the most in the league. That total includes a league-high 154 prime-time games as well as 108 appearances as part of network doubleheaders. For many years, Mr. Bowlen's reputation as an outstanding owner has been well known nationally. In 1987, he finished second in The Sporting News Executive of the Year balloting. In December 2000, ESPN conducted a fan poll asking which NFL owner would be the best for which to play. Mr. Bowlen finished first among all NFL owners with 44.7 percent of the more than 60,000 votes cast. Mr. Bowlen has been well respected for many years by fans, players, coaches, his peers and NFL executives. Mr. Bowlen presides over a franchise that by any standard has been one of the NFL's most successful in his more than two decades of club ownership (1984-2011). Pat Bowlen was introduced as the majority owner of the Denver Broncos on March 23, 1984, and that announcement triggered a new era in franchise history. Mr. Bowlen and the Bowlen family acquired 100 percent ownership of the Broncos in July 1985, and currently his brother John Bowlen owns a minority interest in the Broncos. Mr. Bowlen immediately put his own mark on the Broncos, establishing a solid administration and creating a positive atmosphere that was a major factor in the team's success both on and off the field. Champions are built from the top, and Pat Bowlen is a model of leadership in the scope of his drive and commitment. "I want us to be number one in everything," Mr. Bowlen has often said in a recurring theme that marks his management style. Everyone knows that it is the owner who provides the financial backing that is integral to a championship team, but many fans are unaware that much of the heart, soul and drive of this championship organization comes directly from Pat Bowlen. He has made all of his managerial moves with one goal in mind—to aggressively position the Denver Broncos for another run at a Super Bowl championship. No one sets higher standards for the Broncos than Pat Bowlen himself, whose goals have always been to have his franchise regard10

ed among the finest in pro sports with victory being the measuring stick for that success. Thus, the ultimate goal of this dynamic and energetic chief executive remains firmly set on repeating the World Championship seasons of 1997 and 1998. Below is a summary of the Denver Broncos' success during Mr. Bowlen's ownership (19842011): • The Denver Broncos won back-to-back World Championships in 1997 (Super Bowl XXXII vs. the Green Bay Packers, 31-24) and 1998 (Super Bowl XXXIII vs. the Atlanta Falcons, 34-19). • Denver became the sixth NFL franchise to win back-to-back Super Bowls, joining Green Bay, Miami, Pittsburgh (twice), San Francisco and Dallas. The Broncos became the first AFC team to do it in two decades. New England has since become the seventh franchise to do so. • When the Broncos won Super Bowl XXXII, they were the first AFC team to win in 14 years and just the second wild card team to win a Super Bowl under the NFL's present playoff system. • The Broncos own AFC Championships under Pat Bowlen in 1986, 1987, 1989, 1997 and 1998. • Denver was the only AFC franchise to make three Super Bowl appearances in the 1980s. • Denver ranks third in the NFL in overall wins (270), second in regular-season wins (255), second in Super Bowl appearances (5), tied for third in conference championship game appearances (7) and tied for eighth in playoff appearances (13). • The Broncos have dominated the AFC Western Division by posting more division titles (8), conference championship game appearances (7) and Super Bowl appearances (5) than any other club in the division. • In addition to winning eight division titles, Mr. Bowlen's franchise has had regular-season win totals of 14, 13 (three times), 12 (twice), 11 (four times) and 10 (three times). Thirteen of the 14 best years in team history have come during Mr. Bowlen's ownership. • The Broncos won an NFL-record seven postseason games in a two-year period (1997-1998). • The Broncos had 33 wins over a two-year period (1997-1998), at that time the most in football history. • The Broncos had an NFL-record 46 wins over a three-year period (1996-1998). • The Broncos became the second team in modern NFL history to go undefeated during regularseason play at home for three consecutive seasons (1996-1998). • His 1997-1998 teams performed the astonishing feat of going nearly an entire calendar year without a defeat (12/15/97-12/13/98), at that time a league-record 18 consecutive wins. • In 1998, Denver won a franchise-record 17 games (14 in the regular season), including a 13-0 start that resulted in Denver going nearly an entire calendar year without a loss. • The Broncos have the best home record (166-63 / .725) in pro football over the past 27 years. • The Broncos have had just five losing seasons compared to their 16 winning seasons. Pat Bowlen also has enjoyed tremendous off-the-field success as well. • In Mr. Bowlen's 27 years of ownership, the Broncos have played 26 postseason games, all of which have been sold out. • The Broncos have sold out every game during Mr. Bowlen's ownership for a streak of 229 consecutive games (regular season and postseason) that is the third-longest such streak in the league. • Denver has led the NFL in attendance during Mr. Bowlen's 27-year period as owner. The Broncos have drawn nearly 19 million fans to their home games from 1984-2010, marking the highest total in the NFL. • Mr. Bowlen ushered in a new era in Denver Broncos football history in 2001 when the state-ofthe-art INVESCO Field at Mile High opened. Mr. Bowlen contributed more than $150 million to the construction of the new stadium. • Mr. Bowlen has worked closely with the Broncos' personnel department in maintaining the club's roster in the era of free agency that has resulted in unprecedented player stability. • In addition to his role with the Broncos, Mr. Bowlen was a key figure in securing the league's labor and TV contracts. He currently is co-chair of the powerful NFL Management Council Executive Committee and remains a member of the prestigious NFL Broadcasting Committee, which he formerly chaired. He also is on the NFL Compensation Committee, the NFL Network Committee, the Pro Football Hall of Fame Committee and Los Angeles Working Group Committee. • In his role as Chair of the NFL Broadcast Committee, Mr. Bowlen was responsible for the negotiations on the NFL's $18 billion TV contract, the most lucrative single-sport contract in history. • He was responsible for the Broncos' headquarters, the Paul D. Bowlen Memorial Centre, a 90,000 square foot modern office and training facility located on the team's 13.5 acre complex in 11

Dove Valley, Arapahoe County. The facility is named after Pat Bowlen's father, and the Broncos moved into the building on March 5, 1990. Over the past seven offseasons, an extensive remodeling and expansion plan was implemented, assuring that the team headquarters would remain at the top level of NFL training facilities. Pat Bowlen was born in Praire du Chien, Wis., where he attended high school. He went on to the University of Oklahoma, earning degrees in both business (1965) and law (1968). After successful careers in oil, gas and real estate, he purchased the Denver Broncos in 1984. He is chairman of the board of the Denver Broncos Charities Fund and in that capacity has donated more than $25 million to charitable organizations in the Denver area since the inception of that fund in 1993. Mr. Bowlen served as the Honorary Chairman of the Colorado Special Olympics for 19 years and was the organization's Outstanding Celebrity in 1993. Mr. Bowlen has served as the Honorary Chairman of the Stadium Stampede (formerly the Colorado Family Classic) to benefit St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation for 27 years, and this is his 17th year as Honorary Chairman of the Capuchin Friars Brown Robe Benefit fundraising dinner. He also is Honorary Chairman of the Cherish the Children Gala, chaired the 1989 Centennial Scholarship rally at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley and was Co-Chairman of the Rose Medical Center Critical Care Campaign from 1986-89. In addition, Mr. Bowlen is currently a member of the DU Athletic Affairs Committee. His previous DU memberships include the Institutional Advancement Committee, the Institutional Advancement/University Relations subcommittee and the Board of Trustees. He also was named to the Colorado Academy Board of Trustees in 1991. He has been a member of the American Ireland Fund Dinner Committee for the past 20 years and a Trustee for the Irish Community Center for nine years. He serves on the Board of Trustees of the Hawaii Maritime Center and was the 1992 honoree at the American Ireland Fund Dinner. Mr. Bowlen is a member of several other clubs and societies, including the Alberta Bar Association and the Law Society of Alberta. He also was a member of the Young President's Organization. Mr. Bowlen maintains an active lifestyle and exercises extensively as part of his daily regimen. He has competed in the Ironman Triathlonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an event in which one must swim 2.4 miles, ride 112 miles on a bicycle and run 26.2 miles, all consecutivelyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as well as in other triathlon races and several marathons.

FOOTBALL OPERATIONS

GENERAL MANAGER

ohn Elway, a dynamic leader with experience guiding organizations to World Championships as both a player and executive, enters his first season as Executive Vice President of Football Operations for the Denver Broncos. He was named to that position by Owner Pat Bowlen on Jan. 5, 2011. Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame following a magnificent 16-year playing career with the Broncos from 1983-98 that included five Super Bowl appearances and two championships, Elway is responsible for overseeing all football operations initiatives for the Broncos. He directs all aspects of the team’s player acquisition process, including college scouting research related to the NFL Draft and pro personnel efforts related to free agency. Bringing a competitive and experienced football acumen to Dove Valley, Elway holds final say on all football-related matters while reporting directly to Bowlen and President Joe Ellis. Working closely with General Manager Brian Xanders, Elway led the Broncos’ head coaching search in January 2011 that resulted in the hire of widely respected NFL veteran John Fox. He also oversaw the Broncos’ preparations for the 2011 NFL Draft with the franchise making its highest selection in club history (No. 2 overall, LB Von Miller). Elway, who spent the 2010 season working for the Broncos as a consultant on various initiatives, gained a substantial amount of football operations experience during eight years as co-owner and chief executive officer of the Arena Football League’s Colorado Crush (2002-09). He ran the day-to-day operations of the Crush from its founding in June 2002, leading the club to an ArenaBowl championship just three years later. Elway was heavily involved in the Crush’s business operations, including marketing, promotions and sponsorships, with his efforts resulting in the club being recognized as a premier franchise on and off the field. He was named AFL Executive of the Year in 2003, a year in which the Crush won the Commissioner’s Award presented annually to the most outstanding AFL franchise, and was honored as co-recipient of the 2005 Founders Award for his contributions to the AFL and its growth. During his time with the Crush, Elway worked closely with Bowlen, who served as one-third owner of the franchise from its inception. He held various committee assignments, including working as co-chair of the AFL’s competition committee and chairman of the league’s executive committee beginning in 2007. After the Crush struggled through a 2-14 inaugural season, Elway turned the fortunes of the team around by hiring Mike Dailey as its new head coach. The Crush compiled a 46-34 (.575) mark under Dailey from 2004-08, including a 6-3 record in the postseason, and captured two Central Division titles (2005-06) during his tenure. The pinnacle of Elway’s time with the Crush came in 2005 when the club won ArenaBowl XIX in just its third year of existence by defeating the Georgia Force 51-48 in the championship game. The starting quarterback for the Broncos in an NFL-record five Super Bowls, Elway capped off his tenure as a player for the organization in 1998 by winning Most Valuable Player honors in Super Bowl XXXIII after leading the Broncos to their second consecutive World Championship. He retired as the all-time winningest starting quarterback in NFL history with a career mark of 148-82-1 (.643) while totaling a team-record 51,475 passing yards (4th in NFL history) and 300 touchdown passes (5th in NFL history). Always driven by pressure, Elway directed the Broncos on a league-record 47 fourth-quarter or overtime, game-winning or game-saving drives in his legendary career that included a franchise-record nine Pro Bowl selections and 1987 NFL MVP honors. He graduated from Stanford University with a bachelor’s degree in economics while concluding his collegiate playing career as a Cardinal with five major NCAA Division I-A records and nine major Pacific10 Conference marks. As a senior, Elway was a consensus All-American and finished second in the Heisman Trophy balloting in addition to setting virtually every Pac-10 and Stanford career passing record en route to being the No. 1 overall selection in the 1983 NFL Draft. Elway’s late father, Jack, retired from the Broncos in 2000 after seven years with the club, including the last five as the team’s director of pro scouting. Born June 28, 1960, John is married (Paige) and has four children: daughters Jessica Gwen (25), Jordan Marie (23) and Juliana (19), and son Jack (21).

rian Xanders, 40, enters his 18th NFL season and third year as general manager of the Denver Broncos. He joined the club as assistant general manager on May 5, 2008, and was named the 13th general manager in Broncos history on Feb. 12, 2009. Xanders works closely with Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway in leading all initiatives in evaluating player talent for the Broncos. This includes directing the club’s college scouting department through the NFL Draft and the pro personnel department with offseason acquisitions. With the assistance of the player personnel department, Xanders has strived to assemble a roster full of tough, smart and versatile players during his time as the Broncos’ general manager. Denver has selected an NFL-leading 14 players during the first three rounds of the last three NFL Drafts (Knowshon Moreno, Robert Ayers, Alphonso Smith, Darcel McBath, Richard Quinn, Demaryius Thomas, Tim Tebow, Zane Beadles, J.D. Walton, Eric Decker, Von Miller, Rahim Moore, Orlando Franklin and Nate Irving). He owns a diverse foundation of NFL experience gained during his three seasons with the Broncos and 14 years with the Atlanta Falcons in a variety of coaching, player personnel and football operations positions. Since 1994, he has worked with experienced head coaches, including Dan Reeves, Wade Phillips, Jim Mora, Mike Smith, Mike Shanahan and John Fox. He also trained under several different player personnel executives such as Ron Hill, Bobby Beathard, Rich McKay, Tim Ruskell, Billy Devaney and Thomas Dimitroff. Xanders currently serves on three NFL committees. The College Advisory Committee evaluates college underclassmen that may enter the NFL Draft early. The Combine Selection Committee selects with nine other teams the 300+ players that get invited to the annual combine. The NFL Stats Committee evaluates future initiatives and ventures into innovative football content for fan distribution. He was a member of the Falcons’ defensive coaching staff on their 1998 team that became the first in franchise history to earn a Super Bowl berth (XXXIII). Selected by the Falcons to attend Stanford University’s NFL Program for Managers in 2005, he has given speeches at several universities on NFL player personnel issues. A former middle linebacker who played for Bobby Bowden at Florida State University from 198992, Xanders was a member of four bowl-winning teams with the Seminoles that had a 42-7 combined record. He was an All-Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Team selection and graduated from FSU with a master’s degree in business administration and a bachelor’s degree in business management. Xanders was born on April 10, 1971, in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. He and his wife, Amy, reside in Parker, Colorado with their two children, Reid (8) and Mary Claire (5).

That improvement marked the third-best first-year coaching turnaround in NFL history (Bobby Ross, 1992; Jim Haslett, 2000). His 2003 team finished 11-5 and captured the NFC South crown en route to Super Bowl XXXVIII, where Carolina lost to New England 32-29. Fox joined Vince Lombardi and Bill Parcells as the only coaches in NFL history to inherit a one-win team and lead it to the postseason in just two years Carolina’s second NFC Championship Game appearance in a span of two years came in 2005 after the Panthers finished with the NFL’s third-ranked defense (282.6 ypg.) and earned a road win against Atlanta in their season finale to qualify for the playoffs. Fox’s team won two more road games in the postseason, shutting out New York, 23-0, and defeating Chicago, 29-21, before losing to the Seahawks in the conference championship game in Seattle. As a head coach, Fox also guided teams with dynamic offensive identities as Carolina produced six individual 1,000-yard rushing seasons (DeAngelo Williams-2, Stephen Davis-1, Jonathan Stewart-1) and seven individual 1,000-yard receiving seasons (Steve Smith-4, Mushin Muhammad3) during his nine seasons with the Panthers. Carolina consistently fielded one of the NFL’s best rushing attacks under Fox, including a seven-year stretch from 2003-09 when they placed 10th in the league in rushing yards per game (122.9) In addition, quarterback Jake Delhomme recorded four 3,000-yard passing seasons for Carolina, including three consecutive campaigns from 2003-05. 16

The Panthers totaled a franchise-record 12 victories in 2008 behind the NFL’s 10th-ranked offense (349.7 ypg.). Williams, who finished with a franchise-record 1,515 rushing yards and 18 rushing touchdowns en route to his first Pro Bowl selection that year, teamed with Stewart to lead a rushing attack that averaged 152.3 yards per game and 30 rushing touchdowns-only the fifth unit since the 1970 NFL merger to equal those totals. In 2007, the Panthers became the first team in more than a decade to win at least one game with four different starting quarterbacks, finishing with a 7-9 record after losing starter Jake Delhomme in the third game with a season-ending elbow injury. Fox guided 15 different Panthers players to a total of 28 Pro Bowl selections from 2002-10. Peppers, who was chosen by the Panthers with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2002 NFL Draft, earned Associated Press Rookie of the Year honors and was selected to five Pro Bowls (2004-06, ‘08-09) during his time in Carolina in addition to being named to the 2000s NFL All-Decade Team. Linebacker Jon Beason (2008-10), offensive tackle Jordan Gross (2008, ‘10), defensive tackle Kris Jenkins (2002-03, ‘06), center Ryan Kalil (2009-10) and Smith (2005-06, ‘08) were among the players who went to multiple Pro Bowls during Fox’s time in Carolina. Before his head coaching tenure with the Panthers, he spent five seasons as the defensive coordinator for the New York Giants from 1997-2001 and led a defense that consistently ranked among the league’s most productive units. New York allowed the seventh-fewest points per game (18.7) in the NFL during that span while also finishing fourth in the league with a plus-25 turnover differential. The Giants totaled 230 sacks in five seasons under Fox, including Strahan’s NFL-record 22.5 sacks in 2001. Fox made an immediate impact upon his arrival in New York, coordinating a defense that led the NFL with a club-record 44 takeaways, including a league-high 27 interceptions. His initial Giants defense held opponents to 20 or fewer points in 12-of-16 games and allowed just 90.7 yards per contest on the ground. The pinnacle of Fox’s stretch with the Giants came in the 2000 season when the Giants advanced to Super Bowl XXXV by shutting out the Minnesota Vikings and the NFL’s fifth-ranked offense in the NFC Championship Game by a score of 41-0. Another highlight came during the 1998 season when the Giants’ defense helped the team win its last four games, including a 20-16 win over John Elway and the eventual Super Bowl-champion Denver Broncos, who entered the contest 13-0 and were held to a season-low point total. Giants linebacker Jessie Armstead made all five of his career Pro Bowls during the five-year period Fox was the team’s defensive coordinator while Strahan earned his first four Pro Bowl selections during that time. Fox spent a season as a consultant for the St. Louis Rams in 1996 after two years as the Raiders’ defensive coordinator (1994-95). His defenses with the Raiders finished in the top half of the league in both of his seasons on staff and were anchored by defensive tackle Chester McGlockton and cornerback Terry McDaniel, each of whom earned Pro Bowl honors in both years under Fox. As a secondary coach for the Chargers from 1992-93 under Bobby Ross, Fox helped San Diego rank second in the NFL with 47 interceptions in his two seasons, mentoring players such as safePRO BOWL PLAYERS COACHED BY FOX PLAYER Jesse Armstead Jon Beason Stephen Davis Jake Delhomme Gill Byrd Mark Fields Jordan Gross Kris Jenkins Ryan Kalil Terry McDaniel Chester McGlockton Dan Morgan Mushin Muhammad Julius Peppers Mike Rucker Todd Sauerbrun Steve Smith Michael Strahan Mark Wahle DeAngelo Williams Rod Woodson TOTALS

New Orleans’ defensive backfield was a strength of the 2009 team that captured the city’s first-ever Super Bowl Championship (XLIV). The secondary, which accounted for 22 interceptions on the season, including an NFL-high six picks returned for touchdowns, sealed the Saints’ 31-17 win over the Colts with a 74-yard interception returned for a score by cornerback Tracy Porter late in the fourth quarter. Safety Darren Sharper, who tied for the NFL lead with nine interceptions during the 2009 regular-season, joined safety Roman Harper in becoming the first pair of defensive backs in franchise history to make the Pro Bowl in the same season. In his first year coaching the secondary for the Saints, Allen helped the unit overcome season-ending injuries to both starting cornerbacks and contributed to a defense that held five opponents under 200 yards passing. While coaching New Orleans’ defensive line from 2006-07, he helped direct a front that combined for 48.5 sacks, 10 forced fumbles and 10 fumble recoveries during that stretch. Defensive end Will Smith was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2006 after registering 10.5 sacks and forcing three fumbles. Allen joined the Saints after four seasons with Atlanta as a defensive quality control assistant. His first two years with the Falcons were spent working primarily with the club’s secondary, helping the 2002 unit improve from a No. 30 ranking against the pass the previous season to 16th, while tying for third in the NFL with 24 interceptions. He assisted with the defensive line in his last two seasons with Atlanta, tutoring Pro Bowl defensive linemen Patrick Kearney (2004) and Rod Coleman (2005).

He had stints as Carolina’s passing game coordinator (2007-08), quarterbacks coach (2002-08) and wide receivers coach (2001) while also handling offensive assistant duties (2000, ‘02) with the team. During his NFL coaching career, McCoy has overseen six individual 3,000-yard passing seasons from his work with Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme (4) and Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton (2). He also has been involved with the coaching of four Pro Bowl selections, helping Delhomme (2005) along with Broncos tackle Ryan Clady (2009) and wide receivers Brandon Marshall (2009) and Brandon Lloyd (2010) earn NFL All-Star honors. In 2010, McCoy oversaw the NFL’s seventh-ranked passing offense, as Orton ranked fourth in the league with 281 passing yards per game. He also helped tutor quarterback Tim Tebow, who opened Denver’s last three regular-season contests and registered the highest quarterback rating (82.1) of the eight rookie starting signal-callers in the league. Under McCoy’s guidance, Lloyd led the NFL in receiving yards (1,448) and earned his first Pro Bowl selection, while becoming just the fourth wide receiver in team history to receive Associated Press All-Pro honors (second team). Running back Knowshon Moreno evolved into an every-down player in 2010 and totaled 1,151 yards from scrimmage (779 rushing, 372 receiving) to become just the fourth player in team history to reach 1,000 yards from scrimmage in each of his first two NFL seasons. In his first year as Denver’s offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach in 2009, McCoy helped Orton reach career highs in every passing category while tying for fifth in the NFL and matching a club record with 10 90.0+passer rating games. Clady’s work at left tackle was recognized around the league with him earning the first Pro Bowl selection of his career and becoming only the fifth tackle since the 1970 league merger to be named a first-team Associated Press All-Pro by his second NFL season. McCoy’s offense in 2009 featured another Pro Bowl pick in Marshall, who tied for third in the league with 101 receptions, including an NFL single-game record (21) in Week 14. Moreno also enjoyed a productive season, earning All-Rookie honors after becoming just the 14th player since the 1970 NFL merger to lead league rookies in rushing yards (947), yards from scrimmage (1,160) and total touchdowns (9). The Panthers totaled three playoff appearances, two division titles, two NFC Championship Game appearances and a berth in Super Bowl XXXVIII (2003 season) during McCoy’s nine years on staff from 2000-08. Carolina tied for the second-best record in the NFC (T-7th in NFL) from 2003-08, posting a 56-40 (.583) mark with McCoy seeing an increased role in coaching its offense in that six-year period. McCoy worked closely with Delhomme during six of his nine years coaching with the Panthers, helping the quarterback to his first career Pro Bowl selection (2005) and four 3,000-yard passing seasons (2003-05, ‘08). As passing game coordinator/quarterbacks coach with Carolina from 2007-08, McCoy’s passing offense averaged the seventh-most yards per completion (11.7) in the NFL during that time. Delhomme averaged the fifth-most yards per pass attempt (7.8) in the NFL during McCoy’s two seasons managing Carolina’s passing attack while wide receiver Steve Smith enjoyed similar success, ranking seventh in the league in receiving yards (2,423) over that period. In 2008, McCoy’s instruction helped Delhomme rank fourth in the NFL in yards per pass attempt (7.9) and register his fourth career 3,000-yard passing effort (3,288). His passing offense featured a 1,421-yard receiving output from Smith that was the third best in the league and resulted in the wide 20

receiver earning a Pro Bowl berth. The Panthers’ 12-4 regular-season record tied for the best mark by the club in franchise history and resulted in the team earning a first round playoff bye. Injuries forced the Panthers to start four different quarterbacks (none for more than three games in a row) in 2007, but McCoy’s group of passers answered the challenge. Carolina became the first NFL team in 10 years to win at least one game with four different starters at quarterback (Delhomme, David Carr, Matt Moore and Vinny Testaverde). McCoy’s instruction in 2007 prepared Moore, a rookie college free agent, to start the Panthers’ final three games and post victories in two of those three contests. From 2002-06, McCoy served as the Panthers’ quarterbacks coach and also handled offensive assistant duties for the club during the first year of that period. His teaching helped Delhomme total 89 touchdown passes from 2003-06 that represented the fifth-highest total in the NFL. In 2006, Delhomme registered a career-high 61.0 completion percentage with McCoy’s instruction helping him post a 1.55 touchdown-to-interception ratio (17-11) that was the 10th best in the league. The Panthers had an 11-5 record and advanced to the NFC Championship Game in 2005, and McCoy’s efforts with Delhomme helped the quarterback tie for fourth in the league with 24 touchdown passes and earn his first career Pro Bowl selection. Delhomme enjoyed a career-year under McCoy in 2004, registering personal bests in passing yards (3,886) and touchdown passes (29) that both marked the second-best season totals in Panthers annals. Delhomme’s 1.93 touchdown-to-interception ratio (29-15) also ranked fifth in the NFL for the season. McCoy helped the Panthers to an NFC South title and their first-ever Super Bowl berth (XXXVIII) during the 2003 season. Delhomme, in his first year as an NFL starter, registered a league-high seven fourth-quarter comeback drives that season.

The Broncos’ defensive line under Nunnely in 2009 was the only one in the league comprised entirely of first-year full-time starters, and their three down linemen helped the team rank seventh in the league in both yards per game (315.0) and yards per play (5.0) allowed. Nunnely’s group also played a role in the team posting 39 sacks that were its highest total in seven years and marked the 10th-best output in the NFL. During his 12 seasons in San Diego, Nunnely’s defensive line helped the Chargers rank second in the NFL in yards per carry allowed (3.7) and third in rushing yards per game allowed (97.2) over that period. Nunnely’s unit led the NFL in fewest rushing yards per game twice (1998, 2005) and had the league’s lowest yards per carry average during three different seasons (1998-99, 2001). San Diego also was adept at forcing sacks with Nunnely on staff and totaled the sixth-most sacks (355) in the league from 2000-08, including an NFL-high 177 sacks from 2005-08. Williams developed into one of the best interior linemen in the NFL under Nunnely, earning three consecutive trips to the Pro Bowl (2005-07) and two first-team Associated Press All-Pro honors (2005-06). As a team, the Chargers enjoyed one of the most prosperous periods in club history with Nunnely on staff. San Diego won four division titles during Nunnely’s time as defensive line coach, including three consecutive AFC West crowns from 2006-08. The Chargers advanced to the AFC Championship Game in 2007 for the first time in 13 seasons with Nunnely’s defensive line helping the club rank fifth in the NFL and second in the AFC with 42 sacks. A year earlier in 2006, San Diego registered a league-high 61 sacks that marked the second most in franchise history for a season and the most by a Chargers team in 20 seasons. Nunnely’s defensive linemen were part of a San Diego run defense in 2005 that ranked first in the NFL in rushing yards per game allowed (84.3) and third in yards per carry allowed (3.5) while tying for fifth in the league in sacks (46). Williams earned the first Pro Bowl selection of his career, and defensive end Luis Castillo was a consensus all-rookie selection. San Diego was third in the league against the run (81.7 ypg. / 3.7 avg.) in 2004 after giving up a 30

league-low 3.3 yards per rush in 2001, a year in which Wiley had 13 sacks under Nunnely’s instruction to earn Pro Bowl honors. From 1998-99, the Chargers’ defensive line was the NFL’s best at stopping the run with Nunnely’s group helping the club lead the league in fewest yards per carry allowed during each of those seasons. San Diego set franchise single-season records for fewest yards per rush allowed (2.7) and fewest rushing yards per game allowed (71.3) in 1998. The Chargers’ 2.7 yards per carry average was the lowest total allowed by an NFL team since the 1970 merger while their 71.3 yards per game average was the fourth-lowest year total allowed by an NFL team since the 16-game schedule was implemented in 1978. During two seasons (1995-96) as the Saints’ defensive line coach, Nunnely coached on a defense that tied for the sixth-most sacks (85) in the NFL during that period. New Orleans’ 44 sacks in Nunnely’s first year with the club in 1996 tied for fourth in the league. Nunnely spent four years (1991-94) as a position coach in the Pacific-10 Conference before beginning his NFL coaching career. He instructed the defensive line at UCLA from 1993-94 after coaching running backs at the University of Southern California from 1991-92. In 1990, Nunnely worked at his alma mater, UNLV, as its director of minority student affairs after concluding his four-year career as its head coach. At the time of his hire in 1986, he became the first AfricanAmerican head coach on the West Coast along with just the fourth in Division I-A history. Nunnely and Cleve Bryant became the first African-American head coaches in Division I-A history to coach against each other with Nunnely’s squad defeating Ohio University 26-18 during the 1988 season. Before being named head coach at UNLV, Nunnely was its running backs coach from 1982-85. He also coached the position at the University of the Pacific from 1980-81 and had stints at Cal State Fullerton (defensive line in 1979), Cal Poly Pomona (defensive line in 1978 and running backs in 1977) and UNLV (graduate assistant in 1976). Nunnely’s coaching career began in 1975 as an assistant coach for Valley High School in Las Vegas after competing as a student athlete at UNLV, where he played fullback and lettered in track. He received a bachelor’s degree in physical education from UNLV in 1975 and also was voted the school’s Most Outstanding Male Physical Educator. Born on March 29, 1952, in Los Angeles, Nunnely competed in football and track at Monrovia High School in Monrovia, Calif. He is married to Velda, and they have three sons (Steven, Channing and Aaron) and one daughter (Amber).

During his nine seasons as an NFL running backs coach, Studesville has guided four individuals to a total of seven 1,000-yard rushing seasons with Tiki Barber (2), Marshawn Lynch (2), Willis McGahee (2) and Fred Jackson (1) reaching the mark. His running backs have registered 34 individual 100-yard rushing efforts, a total that includes 14 by McGahee and 12 by Barber. With the Bills, Studesville had a 1,000-yard rusher in five of his six seasons, including one during each of the last three years, and coached Lynch to a Pro Bowl selection in 2008. Both McGahee (2004-05) and Lynch (2007-08) cleared the 1,000-yard mark in each of their first two seasons with McGahee’s 2,375 yards marking a team record for a player’s first two years and ranking 16th in league annals for that category. Jackson, in just his third year, became only the ninth undrafted player in league history to post a 1,000-yard rushing effort in 2009, totaling 1,062 yards with Studesville serving as running game coordinator. The Bills finished the season ranked ninth in the league in yards per rush (4.4) that year. Studesville was promoted to running game coordinator in 2008, a year that saw Lynch become the first Buffalo running back to earn a Pro Bowl nomination in five years after totaling his second consecutive 1,000-yard effort. Lynch (1,036 yds.) and Jackson (500 yds.) formed one of the top rushing duos in the NFL that year, and the two also combined for 84 receptions that led league rushing tandems. In 2007, Studesville oversaw Lynch’s adjustment to the NFL as a rookie and helped the 12th overall pick lead AFC rookies in rushing with 1,115 yards that ranked second in club history among rookies. He averaged 85.7 rushing yards per game that ranked seventh in the NFL (min. 10 GP) and led the league in rushing attempts per game (21.5). McGahee’s 990 rushing yards for the Bills in 2006 increased his three-year career total under Studesville to 3,365 yards to mark the ninth-highest total in the league during that time. He finished his Buffalo career with 14 100-yard games that marked the third-highest total in club history and were the most by a player through his first three seasons with the club. The Bills’ 2005 backfield featured fullback Daimon Shelton, whom Studesville developed into one of the league’s top blockers, along with McGahee, whose 1,247 yards marked his second consecutive 1,000-yard effort. McGahee became the fastest back in team history to total 2,000 career rushing yards, reaching that mark in only 26 games. Studesville joined the Bills as running backs coach in 2004 and instructed McGahee in his first year, helping the 23rd overall pick become the fourth rookie in team history to reach 1,000 rushing yards (1,128) and tie a club rookie record with 13 rushing touchdowns. McGahee rushed for at least 100 yards in his first three starts, becoming only the third back since the 1970 NFL merger to accomplish that feat. 34

JOE ELLIS PRESIDENT

oe Ellis enters his first season as President of the Denver Broncos after he was elevated to that position on Jan. 5, 2011, following 16 years with the club. Ellis spent the previous three seasons as the team’s Chief Operating Officer following 10 years as the Broncos’ Executive Vice President of Business Operations. He rejoined the Broncos for his second stint with the team in 1998 from the NFL’s league office, where he had been Vice President of Club Administration and Stadium Management. Ellis, who began his career with the Broncos as their Director of Marketing from 1983-85, operates atop the Broncos’ management structure and has ultimate responsibility for the organization as team president. He communicates regularly with Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway on all matters involving the football team, and his extensive responsibilities with the club’s business operations include financial management, marketing and sales, media relations, ticket operations, facilities and administrative efforts. Additionally, Ellis speaks on behalf of Broncos Owner and Chief Executive Officer Pat Bowlen on all matters involving the franchise. A driving force in helping with the creation of INVESCO Field at Mile High, which opened in 2001, Ellis oversees Stadium Management Company (SMC), which operates and manages the stadium. During his participation in all aspects of the stadium’s management and development, he has worked very closely with important members of the political, business and civic communities that comprise the cultural fabric of Denver. Ellis came to his present position with comprehensive expertise in the areas of stadium operations, fiscal planning, personnel management, marketing, media and community relations. During his first stint with the Broncos as their Director of Marketing from 1983-85, Ellis was in charge of all marketing and promotions implemented by the club during that time. He left the Broncos following the 1985 season to obtain his master’s degree from the J.L. Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. He graduated from Northwestern in 1988 and joined the NFL in 1990. While with the NFL, Ellis was involved in several aspects of league operations with a strong focus on new stadium development. He was especially involved in the league’s oversight of the Cleveland Browns’ re-entry into the NFL in 1999. Ellis represents the Broncos on numerous boards and civic organizations in the metropolitan area and received his bachelor’s degree from Colorado College in 1980. Joe and his wife, Ann, have three children: sons Si and Zander, and daughter Catherine.

DENVER BRONCOS’ WINNING TRADITION Denver Broncos football enters its 52nd season in 2011 as the team seeks to return to the pinnacle of success it enjoyed with back-to-back Super Bowl wins in 1997 and ‘98. Playing for the 11th year at their glistening stadium, INVESCO Field at Mile High, the Broncos will perform before sellout crowds for the 42nd consecutive season, the first 31 of which came at Mile High Stadium. The team has sold out 317 consecutive regular-season games and 332 consecutive contests including playoff games. Broncos fans have watched their team amass one of the NFL’s finest records since the club’s first winning season in 1973, enduring just seven losing seasons—tied for the fewest in the NFL—as shown in the list below. This season also marks Pat Bowlen’s 28th as Owner and Chief Executive Officer of the Broncos. During that time, Denver has enjoyed a virtually unmatched level of success in the context of the entire NFL and within the American Football Conference Western Division.

DID YOU KNOW? The Broncos’ 13-10 win against the Boston Patriots at Boston University Field on Friday, Sept. 9, 1960, in front of 21,597 fans did more than mark the franchise’s first victory in its first-ever regular-season game. Denver’s contest at Boston also was the first regular-season game in American Football League history. Halfback Al Carmichael also was credited with scoring the first touchdown in AFL (and Broncos) history in that game. On the first play of the second quarter, he took a short pass from quarterback Frank Tripucka along the right flat and reversed direction, going 59 yards down the left sideline for a touchdown that gave Denver a 7-3 lead. 181

BRONCOS CLIMB ABOVE .500 IN REGULAR-SEASON PLAY The Broncos’ all-time record in the regular season has been at or above the .500 mark since the club earned a 21-17 win at Minnesota on Nov. 24, 1996. That victory took Denver’s record to 267-267-10, and the Broncos enter the 2011 season 34 games above .500 (398-364-10 / .522) as a franchise. Before 1996, Denver’s all-time regular-season record had not been .500 or better since the franchise’s first year in 1960. The Broncos were 4-4 after playing their first eight games that season, but a 34-7 loss at the Dallas Texans on Nov. 13, 1960, sent the club below .500 for the first time. Denver’s all-time regular-season record did not reach the .500 mark until a little more than 36 years later with that win against the Vikings in 1996. 188

WEATHER: Rain, 90º, Wind W 10 mph • TIME: 3:26 • ATTENDANCE: 63,636 The Denver Broncos opened the season on the road for the sixth consecutive year, falling to 3-3 in those games with a 24-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in front of 63,636 fans at EverBank Field. With a game-time temperature of 90 degrees and a heat index near 98 degrees, the teams traded scores the entire game until the Jaguars’ go-ahead touchdown midway through the fourth quarter provided the winning margin. Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton completed 21-of-33 passes for 295 yards with one touchdown and one interception for an 89.5 passer rating. He nearly accounted for a second passing score which would have tied the game with 4:41 remaining, but wide receiver Brandon Lloyd was unable to get both feet inbounds on the fourth-down play in the corner of the end zone. Lloyd (5-117) and wide receiver Eddie Royal (8-98) accounted for 215 receiving yards and Jabar Gaffney opened Denver’s scoring with an 8-yard touchdown from Orton, but the Broncos’ aerial assault was trumped by Jaguars quarterback David Garrard, who completed 16-of-21 passes for 170 yards with three touchdowns (138.9 rtg.), and running back Maurice Jones-Drew, who accounted for 98 yards on 23 carries (4.3 avg.). The game was a defensive battle for most of the first half, as neither team scored until the final minute of the second quarter. Garrard and the Jaguars' offense struck first as the quarterback hit tight end Marcedes Lewis on a 21-yard strike with 0:50 seconds left in the half. On the ensuing possession, Orton led the Broncos 74 yards on four plays, capped off by Gaffney’s touchdown reception to tie the score at 7-7 going into halftime. Lewis reeled in a 10-yard touchdown—his second of the day— on Jacksonville’s opening possession of the second half to put the Jaguars on top 14-7, but Denver answered later in the quarter with a 1-yard touchdown run by running back Knowshon Moreno. Jacksonville added a Josh Scobee field goal late in the third quarter to put the Jaguars ahead, 17-14, going into the fourth quarter. However, a lightning delay forced the teams into the locker rooms for 33 minutes prior to the start of the final period. After the weather intermission, Broncos kicker Matt Prater connected on a 54-yard field goal to tie the game with 11:20 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Jaguars took the lead for good when Garrard hit wide receiver Kassim Osgood for a 24-yard touchdown pass with just under eight minutes remaining. Denver had one more possession after Orton’s failed fourthdown connection to Lloyd in the end zone, but Jaguars linebacker Daryl Smith’s interception near midfield with less than a minute remaining sealed the win for Jacksonville.

WEATHER: Sunny, 91º, Wind S 9 mph • TIME: 2:55 • ATTENDANCE: 75,130 The Denver Broncos totaled four takeaways and won their 11th consecutive home opener, beating the Seattle Seahawks 31-14 in front of 75,130 fans at INVESCO Field at Mile High. Three interceptions by the Denver defense, along with impressive performances by quarterback Kyle Orton and rookie wide receiver and first-round draft choice Demaryius Thomas, propelled the Broncos to their first win of the 2010 season. Thomas rebounded from a foot injury that sidelined him for the entire preseason and Week 1 and recorded eight receptions for 97 yards (12.1 avg.) with one touchdown. He became just the fifth player in the NFL since 1970 to record at least eight catches in his professional debut, and his 21-yard touchdown catch from Orton midway through the fourth quarter helped put the game out of reach for Seattle. Orton was equally impressive on the day, completing 25-of-35 passes for 307 yards with two touchdowns (117.2 rtg.), including an impressive 11-of-14 (78.6%) passing performance on third down. The Seahawks started the game by driving to the Broncos' red zone before cornerback Champ Bailey picked off Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck at the 4-yard line for his first interception of the season. After a stalled drive by the Broncos, Seattle returner Walter Thurmund muffed the ensuing punt to set up the first score of the game—a 13-yard touchdown strike from Orton to wide receiver Eddie Royal. Broncos safety Brian Dawkins’ interception off Hasselbeck in the second quarter, sandwiched between a 1-yard touchdown run by running back Correll Buckhalter and a 20-yard Matt Prater field goal with 0:11 seconds remaining, helped Denver open up a 17-0 halftime lead. A 63-yard punt return by Seattle’s Golden Tate early in the third quarter gave the Seahawks momentum to start the half and possession at the Broncos’ 22-yard line. Five plays later, Hasselbeck connected with tight end Ben Obomanu on an 11-yard scoring strike to bring Seattle within 17-7. Two Denver touchdowns helped put the game away, as running back Knowshon Moreno scored on a 1-yard plunge on the Broncos’ ensuing possession, and Thomas hauled in a 21-yard touchdown from Orton with 9:11 remaining to cap Denver’s scoring. Hasselbeck scored on a 20-yard touchdown run with 5:59 remaining, but Denver forced a Seattle punt and rookie cornerback Perrish Cox recorded his first career interception to end Seattle’s comeback attempt.

DENVER

WEATHER: Sunny, 85º, Wind N 6 mph • TIME: 3:05 • ATTENDANCE: 76,401 Quarterback Kyle Orton posted the second-most passing yards in team history, and the Broncos accumulated more than 500 yards of total offense, but red zone and turnover problems plagued Denver in a 27-13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in front of 76,401 fans at INVESCO Field at Mile High. Orton completed 37-of-57 passes for 476 yards with one touchdown and one interception for an 89.5 passer rating, but an 0-for5 performance in the red zone, along with an interception in Colts territory, prevented Denver’s offense from capitalizing on its ability to move the ball consistently against Indianapolis’ defense. The Broncos’ defense held quarterback Peyton Manning and the Colts’ offense in check early, limiting the potent attack to six points off two Adam Vinatieri field goals in the first quarter. A 5-yard touchdown pass from Manning to wide receiver Austin Collie, who totaled a game-high 12 receptions for 171 yards with two touchdowns, put the visitors on top 13-0 early in the second quarter. Denver answered with a 13-play drive to the Indianapolis 1-yard line, but the Colts denied the Broncos four times, including on running back Laurence Maroney’s fourth-down attempt that was originally ruled a touchdown before being overturned by official review. Broncos kicker Matt Prater converted on a 25-yard field goal with 0:17 seconds remaining in the half to make the score 13-3 in favor of the Colts entering the break. Orton connected with wide receiver Brandon Lloyd on a 48-yard touchdown pass on Denver’s opening possession of the second half to pull the Broncos to within 13-10. Indianapolis answered two drives later when Manning hit wide receiver Blair White for a 9-yard score. A 34-yard field goal by Prater late in the third quarter brought the Broncos back to within one score, 20-13, but two long Denver drives in the fourth quarter resulted in turnovers on downs deep in Colts territory. A combined 25 plays in those two possessions netted zero points for Denver, and Collie caught his second touchdown of the day—a 23-yarder from Manning with 4:26 remaining—to account for the final score. Lloyd (6-169, TD) and wide receiver Jabar Gaffney (12-140) each topped 100 yards receiving and rookie cornerback Perrish Cox made his first career start, contributing four passes defensed for the Broncos. Manning finished the day completing 27-of-43 passes for 325 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions (109.2 rtg.) to offset the Colts’ rushing attack, which netted just 40 yards and a 1.8 average.

WEATHER: Cloudy, 54º, Wind N 13 mph • TIME: 3:21 • ATTENDANCE: 69,143 A late touchdown pass from Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton to running back Correll Buckhalter helped Denver win its first road game of the season, a 26-20 victory over the Tennessee Titans at LP Field in Nashville, Tenn. A crowd of 69,143 watched as Orton carried the offense, completing 35-of-50 passes for 341 yards with two touchdowns and one interception (93.8 rtg.) for his third-consecutive 300-yard passing performance. Denver’s defense held Titans running back Chris Johnson—the NFL’s reigning rushing champion—to 53 yards on 19 carries (2.8 avg.) on the day. The game started with a scoreless first quarter after both teams traded three-and-outs on their opening possessions. Tennessee’s second offensive series ended when kicker Rob Bironas missed a 35-yard field goal attempt wide right. Denver scored the initial points of the contest when Orton hit wide receiver Eddie Royal for a 2-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. The Broncos held the lead for just over two minutes, however, as the Titans answered on their ensuing possession. Tennessee running back Javon Ringer’s 54-yard run set up an 8yard touchdown pass from quarterback Vince Young to wide receiver Kenny Britt, evening the score at 7-7. Broncos kicker Matt Prater hit the first of his four field goals in the game with 0:28 remaining in the half to give Denver a 10-7 advantage. Tennessee answered with a quick 26-yard drive spanning 0:23 to set up kicker Rob Bironas’ 55-yard field goal as time expired to knot the score at 10-10 entering halftime. Prater added another 36-yard field goal on Denver’s initial possession of the second half, but the 13-10 lead was short lived, as Titans rookie returner Marc Mariani took the ensuing kickoff 98 yards for a score to give Tennessee its first advantage, 17-13. The teams traded field goals, and Tennessee maintained a 20-16 lead for over a quarter of play. Orton and wide receiver Jabar Gaffney were unable to connect on fourth down at the Titans’ 4yard line with 4:39 remaining in the game, allowing Tennessee to preserve its four-point advantage. Pinned deep in their own territory, the Titans were forced to punt five plays later, setting Denver’s offense up near midfield with 2:42 left in the game. Following the two-minute warning, Orton threw a pass deep to the end zone, where Titans safety Chris Hope was called for pass interference on Gaffney. Orton’s decisive touchdown pass to Buckhalter came with 1:33 remaining, giving the Broncos a 23-20 lead. Mariani fumbled the kickoff for Tennessee, and Prater tacked on a 36-yard field goal with 0:28 remaining to seal the win for Denver.

WEATHER: Sunny, 67º, Wind SSW 6 mph • TIME: 3:04 • ATTENDANCE: 71,246 The Denver Broncos were unable to recover from a 17-point deficit in the first half, losing to the Baltimore Ravens 31-17 in front of 71,246 fans at M&T Bank Stadium. Quarterback Kyle Orton completed 23-of-38 passes for 314 yards with two touchdowns (104.5 rtg.), but his two long scoring passes to wide receiver Brandon Lloyd—42 and 44 yards—in the final minute of each half were not enough to keep the Broncos within reach. Denver’s defense came up with a goal-line stand on fourth down on Baltimore’s initial possession, but a season-high 10 penalties and a potent Ravens rushing attack (233 yds.) halted any momentum the Broncos had and caused them to play from behind the entire day. Baltimore scored 17 points in a span of 6:24 late in the first quarter, starting with a pair of 1-yard runs by quarterback Joe Flacco and running back Ray Rice. Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff added a 37-yard field goal after Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas fumbled on a kickoff return to set up the Ravens’ offense in Denver territory. Orton led Denver on a 5-play, 59-yard drive late in the second quarter and connected with Lloyd on a 42-yard touchdown pass with 0:48 remaining in the half to cut the Ravens’ lead to 17-7. A promising drive for Denver to open the second half stalled at the Baltimore 37-yard line and the Broncos were forced to punt. After the teams traded punts on their next possessions, the Ravens executed two long touchdown drives—spanning a combined 14:09—to put the game out of reach. Rice, who finished the day with 27 rushes for 133 yards (4.9 avg.) with two touchdowns and led Baltimore with four receptions for 26 yards (6.5 avg.), scored on a 1-yard touchdown run on the second play of the fourth quarter to give the Ravens a 24-7 lead. Kicker Matt Prater brought Denver back within two scores after converting a 38-yard field goal attempt, but Rice and Baltimore’s offense took control again on the next possession. Rice was the featured target for the first nine plays of the Ravens’ 11-play, 90-yard drive that ended with Baltimore running back Willis McGahee’s 30-yard touchdown run with 5:19 remaining in the game. Lloyd hauled in another touchdown, a 44-yarder from Orton with 0:43 left to cut the lead to 31-17, but Denver’s running game, which mustered just three carries in the second half and just 39 yards overall, eventually doomed the visitors. Flacco finished the afternoon completing 14-of-25 passes for 196 yards (81.4 rtg.) to go along with his 20 yards and one score on the ground.

WEATHER: Partly Cloudy, 73º, Wind Variable 4 mph • TIME: 3:09 • ATTENDANCE: 75,982 The Denver Broncos recorded three takeaways against the AFC East-leading New York Jets and held the lead in the fourth quarter of the back-and-forth game, but Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson scored the decisive touchdown with 1:13 remaining to give New York the 24-20 win at INVESCO Field at Mile High. Tomlinson’s late touchdown came after the Jets converted on two third downs to move into Broncos' territory with 1:26 left. New York was faced with a fourth-and-6 when quarterback Mark Sanchez heaved the ball to the 2-yard line where Denver safety Renaldo Hill was called for pass interference on Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes. Tomlinson then scored his second touchdown of the game to help his team to the win. The game started slowly for both teams, as neither squad scored in the first quarter. The Broncos had an opportunity for three early points, but kicker Matt Prater was forced to fall on a botched snap on a field goal attempt early in the period. The Jets took the lead with a 13-play, 77-yard drive capped by Sanchez’s 32-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Braylon Edwards. The Broncos answered the Jets' touchdown with a quick scoring drive of their own on their ensuing possession. After quarterback Kyle Orton hit wide receiver Jabar Gaffney with a pair of 16yard passes and a 27-yard strike during the course of the drive, rookie quarterback Tim Tebow took a snap from the shotgun and ran for his first NFL touchdown to even the score at 7-7. Denver took advantage of an interception by rookie cornerback Syd’Quan Thompson late in the first half, and Prater converted the second-longest field goal in team history from 59 yards out as time expired to give the Broncos a 10-7 lead going into the locker room. Prater missed his second field goal attempt of the afternoon— from 49 yards—on Denver’s first possession of the second half, and Jets kicker Nick Folk added a 56-yarder for New York to tie the game at 10-10 with 6:47 remaining in the third quarter. Broncos rookie wide receiver Demaryius Thomas hauled in a 17yard touchdown pass from Orton with All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis in coverage to give Denver its second lead of the game, 1710, late in the third. Denver held on to the advantage going into the final quarter, but Tomlinson brought the Jets back, scoring on a 20-yard run to even the game at 17-17. Prater rebounded from his earlier miss to connect on a 48-yard field goal to give Denver a three-point advantage with 4:00 remaining and set the stage for New York’s game-winning scoring drive. A Denver comeback was thwarted when an errant shotgun snap in Jets territory was recovered by New York.

WEATHER: Mostly Cloudy, 63º, Wind NW 9 mph • TIME: 3:08 • ATTENDANCE: 75,835 The Denver Broncos turned the ball over on their first two plays from scrimmage and surrendered 38 consecutive points to start the game in a 59-14 loss to the Oakland Raiders in front of a sellout crowd of 75,835 at INVESCO Field at Mile High Stadium. In Denver's first divisional game of the 2010 season, Oakland used a potent rushing attack that accounted for 328 of the Raiders' 508 total yards on the day to beat Denver. Running back Darren McFadden racked up 165 yards on the ground to go along with four total touchdowns, while six other Raiders added to the rushing total. The Raiders’ offense was on display early, opening the game with a 9-play, 80-yard scoring drive, capped by a 43-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jason Campbell to tight end Zach Miller. Oakland’s defense quickly added to its lead, as Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton was intercepted on Denver’s first offensive play by Raiders cornerback Chris Johnson who raced 30 yards for a touchdown to give Oakland 14 points in a span of eight seconds. On the first play of Denver's second possession, wide receiver Demaryius Thomas fumbled the ball, giving Oakland good field position. The Raiders took advantage in just three plays, as McFadden scored his first touchdown of the day on a 4-yard run to put his team up 21-0. A Sebastian Janikowski field goal put the score at 24-0 at the end of the first quarter, and the Raiders were not finished. Campbell, who completed 12-of-20 passes for 204 yards with two touchdowns (127.9 rtg.) on the afternoon, found McFadden for a 19-yard scoring toss and a 31-0 Raiders advantage. McFadden scored on a 4-yard run midway through the second quarter to put Oakland on top 38-0 before the Broncos finally put points on the board with a 7-yard touchdown run by running back Knowshon Moreno with just under two minutes remaining in the half. The Broncos took just three plays to find the end zone at the start of the third quarter, as Moreno took a short pass from Orton and raced 27 yards for a touchdown to make the score 38-14. Any chance of a Denver comeback was spoiled by Oakland on the next possession when the Raiders used a methodical 10-play, 80-yard scoring drive to erase any doubt over the outcome. Fullback Marcel Reece provided the knockout punch with a 1-yard touchdown on fourth down to give Oakland a 45-14 lead. A 57-yard touchdown run by McFadden and a 1-yard scoring run by running back Michael Bush at the end of the third quarter capped a string of 21 unanswered points in third quarter to give Oakland its 59-14 win in the Mile High City.

DENVER

WEATHER: 54º, Wind NNE 6 mph • TIME: 3:04 • ATTENDANCE: 83,941 A defensive battle yielded to an offensive exhibition with 30 points scored in the fourth quarter, as the Denver Broncos fell to the San Francisco 49ers 24-16 at London’s Wembley Stadium. Playing in front of 83,941 fans—the sixth-largest crowd ever to watch a Broncos game—the 49ers scored three consecutive touchdowns in the final quarter to win the NFL International Series Game, which marked the first-ever regular-season contest for Denver played overseas. Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton completed 28-of-40 passes for 370 yards with one touchdown and one interception (96.9 rtg.) against San Francisco, while wide receiver Brandon Lloyd turned in another impressive performance, catching seven passes for 169 yards (24.1 avg.) with one touchdown. The teams combined for eight punts in the first two quarters, as 49ers kicker Joe Nedney’s 34-yard field goal with 0:23 left before halftime provided the only scoring before the break. On Denver’s first possession of the second half, rookie quarterback Tim Tebow capped a 5-play, 89-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run. The score was set up by a 71-yard pass from Orton to Lloyd, who was finally brought down at the San Francisco 1-yard line. The Broncos added a 32-yard field goal by kicker Matt Prater to extend their lead to 10-3 early in the fourth quarter before the 49ers’ offense got rolling. San Francisco quarterback Troy Smith, who completed 12-of-19 passes for 196 yards with one touchdown (115.2 rtg.) in his first start of the season, and just the third start of his career, completed consecutive passes—of 27 and 38 yards—to wide receiver Delanie Walker on the next drive and finished off the possession with a 1-yard touchdown run. After a Denver three-and-out and a Britton Colquitt punt that netted just 21 yards, San Francisco took over near midfield and needed just four plays to find the end zone with Smith hitting wide receiver Michael Crabtee for a 28-yard touchdown to put the 49ers ahead 17-10. An Orton fumble on Denver’s next play was recovered by San Francisco deep in Broncos territory. Running back Frank Gore, who finished with 29 carries for 118 yards (4.1 avg.), scored on a 3yard run six plays later to give the 49ers a 24-10 advantage. The Broncos responded with a 7-play, 78-yard scoring drive capped by a 1-yard scoring toss form Orton to Lloyd. San Francisco was forced to punt on its next possession, but Broncos returner Eddie Royal’s 78-yard punt return for a touchdown following the two-minute warning was nullified due to a penalty, ensuring San Francisco the 24-16 win.

WEATHER: Partly Cloudy, 43º, Wind N 6 mph • TIME: 3:25 • ATTENDANCE: 75,334 The Denver Broncos took a 35-0 lead against their AFC West rivals and tied for the second-most points in franchise history in a 49-29 win against the Kansas City Chiefs in front of 75,334 fans at INVESCO Field at Mile High. Denver did not waste any time in jumping on Kansas City, as quarterback Kyle Orton, who finished the day completing 22-of-34 passes for 296 yards with a career-high four touchdowns (131.5 rtg.), tied an NFL record by tossing three touchdown passes in the first quarter alone. Running back Knowshon Moreno was the first Bronco to get in the end zone, as he reeled in a pass from 17 yards out to give Denver a 7-0 lead after its opening possession. Orton tossed two more touchdown passes—a 6-yard completion to wide receiver Brandon Lloyd and a 40-yard strike to wide receiver Jabar Gaffney—to build a 21-0 lead for Denver. Rookie quarterback Tim Tebow added a 1-yard scoring run in the second quarter to put Denver ahead 28-0. After Kansas City drove deep into Denver territory on its next possession, Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel was stripped by linebacker Mario Haggan, who produced his first of three sacks on the day. The fumble was recovered by Broncos linebacker Jason Hunter, who raced 75 yards for a touchdown and a 35-0 Denver lead. A 5-yard touchdown run by running back Jamaal Charles and a 40-yard field goal by Ryan Succop put the Chiefs on the scoreboard before the end of the second quarter, but not before the Broncos piled up 35 points and over 300 total yards in a half for just the third time in franchise history. Tebow accounted for his second touchdown of the day, hitting fullback Spencer Larsen with a 3-yard scoring pass on Denver’s first possession of the second half. Denver’s defense, which limited a potent Kansas City rushing attack to just 52 yards and a 2.3 average, denied the Chiefs on the next possession, stopping them on four consecutive plays from the 1-yard line to preserve the 42-10 lead. After a 15-yard touchdown pass from Cassel to wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, the Broncos answered with Lloyd’s second touchdown—a 15-yard pass form Orton—to give the home team a 4917 advantage early in the fourth quarter. Two fourth-quarter scoring passes by Cassel added to Kansas City’s point total with the game already far out of reach. Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno recorded the first 100-yard rushing game of his career as he led all rushers with 106 yards on 22 carries (4.8 avg.) and added three receptions for 50 yards (16.7 avg.) with one touchdown.

WEATHER: 55º, Wind W 5 mph • TIME: 3:00 • ATTENDANCE: 68,482 The Denver Broncos surrendered a string of 35 consecutive points in a 35-14 loss to the San Diego Chargers on ESPN's Monday Night Football. A crowd of of 68,482 fans at Qualcomm Stadium watched as Denver struck on its opening possession. Quarterback Kyle Orton methodically drove the Broncos 69 yards in six plays, capped by a 4-yard touchdown run by running back Knowshon Moreno. After the teams traded three-and-outs, the lifeless Chargers seized momentum on a fake punt to help tie the game. Punter Mike Scifres’ 31-yard pass to running back Mike Tolbert on fourth down set San Diego up in Denver territory, and five plays later, quarterback Philip Rivers found wide receiver Malcolm Floyd for a 6-yard touchdown pass. Orton was intercepted in San Diego territory on Denver’s next possession by Chargers cornerback Antoine Cason, and the Broncos next offensive drive stalled at midfield. Tolbert, who finished with 25 carries for 111 yards (4.4 avg.) with one touchdown, capped a 6-play, 87-yard drive by the Chargers with his 1-yard scoring run to put San Diego on top 147. Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey recorded his second interception of the season on a deep pass by Rivers to prevent another San Diego score. Denver’s offense, which converted on just 1-of12 third downs in the game, couldn’t get anything going deep in its own territory. The Chargers took just two plays to add to their lead, as Rivers hit wide receiver Patrick Crayton for a 40-yard touchdown pass and a 21-7 advantage entering halftime. San Diego put the game out of reach on its first possession of the third quarter when running Darren Sproles, who led the team with five receptions, took a short pass from Rivers and raced 57 yards for a touchdown. A three-yard touchdown pass to fullback Jacob Hester early in the fourth quarter marked Rivers’ fourth score of the day, giving San Diego a commanding 35-7 lead. For the evening, Rivers completed 15-of-24 passes for 233 yards with four touchdowns and one interception (.116.8 rtg.). Denver put a late touchdown on the board when wide receiver Brandon Lloyd made a catch between two Chargers defenders with 8:48 left to give Orton his first and only touchdown pass of the game. Lloyd’s 78 receiving yards on six catches (13.0 avg.) put him over 1,000 yards for the first time in his career. Meanwhile, Orton's 217 yards on 24-of-38 passing put him over the 3,000-yard plateau for the second consecutive season.

WEATHER: Mostly Cloudy, 45º, Wind W 12 mph • TIME: 3:15 • ATTENDANCE: 72,736 The Denver Broncos rallied to score 20 points in the fourth quarter, but were unable to capitalize on their final drive as the St. Louis Rams held on for a 36-33 win at INVESCO Field at Mile High. Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton led the comeback attempt, as he completed 24-of-41 passes for 347 yards and three fourthquarter touchdowns (110.5 rtg.) against the Rams. A 5-yard touchdown pass form Orton to wide receiver Brandon Lloyd with 2:40 remaining in the game cut St. Louis’ lead to 36-33, but after forcing a Rams punt, Denver’s offense came up short on its final drive. The Broncos started the game by scoring a touchdown on their opening drive for the second consecutive week, as running back Knowshon Moreno found the end zone on a 4-yard run to initiate the scoring. Denver scored on its next two possessions, but was held to field goals on each occasion—a 49-yarder and a 40-yarder by kicker Matt Prater. St. Louis scored on a 36-yard touchdown pass from rookie quarterback Sam Bradford to tight end Michael Hoomanawanui late in the first quarter to mark the first of three scoring plays by Rams tight ends in the game. Bradford, who completed 22-of-37 passes for 308 yards with three touchdowns (113.3 rtg.) against the Broncos, found tight end Ben Bajema on scoring passes of two and 26 yards, respectively, on consecutive drives in the second quarter to give St. Louis a 20-13 lead. The Rams added two Josh Brown field goals at the end of the first half—the second one after a fumbled kickoff return by Broncos wide receiver Eddie Royal—to gain a 26-13 edge entering halftime. A 1-yard touchdown run by Rams running back Kenneth Darby in the third quarter gave St. Louis a 33-13 lead and set the stage for Denver’s comeback attempt. Lloyd scored on a 41-yard reception from Orton on the first play of the fourth quarter to cut the deficit to 13 points. The Rams answered with a 26-yard field goal, which would end up being the deciding score, giving them a 36-20 lead at the time. Royal, who led Denver with 74 receiving yards on six catches (12.3 avg.), hauled in a 16-yard touchdown pass from Orton with 4:57 remaining. After a St. Louis punt, Orton drove the Broncos on an 8-play, 59yard scoring drive, finding Lloyd in the end zone for the second time in the fourth quarter with a 5-yard touchdown pass. The three-point deficit would hold up for St. Louis after four consecutive incompletions ended Denver’s final drive.

WEATHER: 26º, Wind NNW 8 mph • TIME: 3:02 • ATTENDANCE: 67,267 Denver Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno rushed for a career-high 161 yards, but it was not enough as the Broncos fell 10-6 to the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. In the second meeting between the two AFC West rivals in the 2010 season, both teams battled through a cold day in front of 67,267 fans. The offenses found success running the ball in the below-freezing temperatures, as Kansas City totaled 185 yards on the ground, while Moreno topped the 100-yard mark for the second time in his career. Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey led Denver’s defense, matched up against Kansas City’s Dwayne Bowe and limiting the Chiefs’ leading wideout to zero catches on three passes thrown in his direction, while also drawing an offensive pass interference penalty. In a defensive battle, the lone touchdown of the contest came in the first quarter when Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel found tight end Leonard Pope for a 2-yard touchdown pass that put Kansas City ahead 7-0. The Broncos carried a strong defensive effort over into the second quarter, holding the Chiefs at the Denver 33-yard line to force a Dustin Colquitt punt with 6:47 left in the half, stalling an 11-play 57-yard drive. Quarterback Kyle Orton led the team on a lengthy drive into Kansas City territory that set up a Matt Prater field goal from 25yards out to make the score 7-3. The Chiefs answered on the next possession when kicker Ryan Succop connected on a 47-yard field goal to extend the Kansas City lead to 10-3 with seven seconds left in the first half. Ten points would be enough for the Chiefs the rest of the way, as they took possession of the ball after the break and maintained possession for nearly 12 minutes in third quarter. On Denver’s first drive of the fourth quarter, Prater connected on his second field goal of the game—from 41-yards out—to cut the Kansas City lead to 10-6. After both teams traded possessions in the final quarter, Kansas City’s Dustin Colquitt punted and pinned the Broncos at their own 8-yard line with just 20 seconds remaining in the game. Orton’s final pass fell incomplete to receiver Eddie Royal and the Chiefs edged out the Broncos for the 10-6 victory. Kansas City finished with nearly a 15-minute edge in time of possession (37:14-22:46) to keep Denver at bay. With the loss, the Broncos split the season series with their division foe, one game apiece.

WEATHER: Roof Closed • TIME: 3:39 • ATTENDANCE: 62,223 In the debut for Interim Head Coach Eric Studesville, the Denver Broncos committed six turnovers that led to a 43-13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in front of 62,223 fans at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. Studesville took over the reigns of the team early in the week preceding the game and looked to defeat the only team in the NFL that had never beaten the Broncos in regular-season play entering the contest. Denver delivered a field goal on its opening possession, but a slurry of turnovers prevented the Broncos from sustaining any momentum. In Arizona’s eight scoring drives, its average field position was at midfield. Cardinals kicker Jay Feely accounted for Arizona’s first 22 points and 25 points overall, including a 5-yard touchdown run on a fake field goal attempt in the second quarter to put Arizona up 13-3. Feely connected on 5-of-6 field goal tries while accounting for more than half of Arizona’s points on the day. The Cardinals also got production from running back Tim Hightower and rookie quarterback John Skelton, who made his first NFL start. Hightower rushed for 148 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries (8.2 avg.) for the game, while Skelton completed 15-of-37 passes (40.5%) for 146 yards with no interceptions. Arizona's offense was held in check for most of the first half. Denver moved the ball well on the opening drive to take a 3-0 lead after newly-signed kicker Steven Hauschka connected on a 32-yard try for his first field goal as a Bronco. Meanwhile, Denver's defense held Arizona to six points for the first 25:58 leading up to Feely's touchdown. From that point on, Feely connected on three consecutive field goals to extend Arizona’s lead to 22-3 and give the Cardinals 22 unanswered points in the first half. Hauschka added a field goal for the Broncos with 11:20 to go in the fourth quarter to cut the lead to 22-6, but Arizona answered with an 8-yard touchdown run by Hightower. Moreno found the end zone on a 1-yard run to cut the lead back to 16 with 3:31 remaining. Denver could not overcome the 16-point deficit or the 24 points that the Cardinals scored in the final period. Hightower added a 35yard scoring run later in the quarter, while Arizona’s defense turned Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton’s late interception into a touchdown.

OFFICIALS: Referee — Jerome Boger (23); Umpire — Carl Pagnelli (124); Head Linesman — Steve Stelljes (22); Line Judge — Gary Arthur (108); Side Judge — Joe Larrew (73); Field Judge — Doug Rosenbaum (67); Back Judge — Tony Steratore (112); Replay — Mark Burns.

WEATHER: Cloudy/Rainy, 55º • TIME: 3:15 • ATTENDANCE: 44,246 Rookie quarterback Tim Tebow made his NFL starting debut, completing 8-of-16 passes (50.0%) for 138 yards and one touchdown and ran eight times for 78 yards (9.8 avg.) with one touchdown as the Denver Broncos fell to the Oakland Raiders, 39-23, at the Oakland-Alemeda County Coliseum. In front of 44,246 Raiders fans, Tebow led the Broncos on five scoring drives that yielded two touchdowns and three field goals from kicker Steven Hauschka. Oakland opened the scoring on its first play from scrimmage when wide receiver Jacoby Ford outran the Denver defense on a reverse for a 71-yard score. After Broncos defensive lineman Kevin Vickerson intercepted a Jason Campbell pass at the line of scrimmage, the Denver offense gained possession on the Raiders’ 26-yard line. A penalty and a sack backed the Broncos into a third-and-24 situation before Tebow took the ball on a quarterback draw and outraced the Raiders’ defenders 40-yards for the game-tying score. With the score knotted at 7-7, the Broncos’ defense stepped up again and forced another turnover deep in Raiders territory. Linebacker Jason Hunter stripped Oakland running back Darren McFadden and recovered the fumble himself, giving Denver possession at the Oakland 32-yard line. Tebow took advantage of the excellent field possession again, this time through the air, as he found wide receiver Brandon Lloyd for a 33-yard pass that was corralled from the corner of the end zone to give the Broncos a 14-7 lead. Oakland answered the Denver score and put together an 8-play, 69-yard scoring drive that culminated in a 1-yard touchdown run by running back Michael Bush to even the game up once again, 14-14. The two teams traded field goals in the second quarter, entering the intermission with the score tied 17-17. Oakland kicker Sebastian Janikowski connected on a 35-yard field goal to give the Raiders a three-point advantage in the third quarter. Denver matched the tally on its ensuing possession, when Hauschka knocked in a 35-yard attempt to once again tie the score. With the score even at 20-20, Oakland took control, adding another field goal from Janikowski and then adding another long touchdown when Campbell found fullback Marcel Reece out of the backfield for a 73-yard score. Hauschka booted his third field goal of the day for the Broncos, but Oakland then went on to score on a safety and another touchdown in the final 10 minutes to make the final score 39-23. Tebow’s 100.5 rating against the Raiders marked the highest in team history for a rookie making his starting debut. His 78 yards on the ground also represented the second-most rushing yards by a quarterback in club annals.

WEATHER: Partly Cloudy, 50º, Wind NE 7 mph • TIME: 2:53 • ATTENDANCE: 73,691 The Denver Broncos used a strong second-half surge to overcome a 17-point halftime deficit and topple the Houston Texans 24-23 in front of 73,691 fans at INVESCO Field at Mile High. The 17-point comeback tied the largest halftime margin overcome for a win in franchise history. The electric crowd looked on as Denver quarterback Tim Tebow led the squad on a furious comeback effort in the second half, outscoring the Texans 24-6 in the final two quarters to give Denver the win and Tebow's first victory as a starting NFL quarterback. The Broncos began the second half with a four-play, 80-yard drive that was sparked by wide receiver Jabar Gaffney's 50-yard reception on the second play from scrimmage after the intermission. With the ball at the Texans’ 15-yard line, running back Correll Buckhalter carried consecutive times, resulting in a 6-yard touchdown run to cut the Texans’ lead to 17-7. After the teams traded field goals to put the score at 20-10, Houston kicker Neil Rackers converted his longest field goal of the season from 57 yards out, to give the Texans a 23-10 lead with 2:38 to go in the third quarter. Tebow led the Broncos on a clock-draining 74-yard drive that culminated with a 23-yard scoring pass from Tebow to Buckhalter for Buckhalter’s second touchdown of the day. The drive took 6:39, which was the longest touchdown drive of the season for Denver. After the defense came up with a stop, the Broncos got the ball back with 7:42 remaining in the game. Led by its rookie quarterback, Denver marched methodically down the field. After a pass interference penalty was called on a Houston defender in the back corner of the end zone on 3rd-and-4, Tebow scrambled for the goahead 6-yard touchdown run. Leading 24-23, it was up to the defense to preserve the victory. Houston got the ball back with 3:11 remaining and reached Denver territory with under two minutes to play. Facing a 2nd-and-9 at the Denver 39-yard line, Schaub looked for tight end Owen Daniels across the middle, but Denver defensive lineman Justin Bannan tipped the ball at the line of scrimmage and rookie cornerback Syd'Quan Thompson plucked the ball out of the air for the game-sealing interception. Tebow led the team with 308 passing yards to give him the thirdmost yards in a game by a Broncos rookie quarterback and the most since John Elway threw for 345 against Baltimore in 1983. The record performance by Tebow helped the team snap a fivegame losing streak and improve to 2-1 all time against the Texans.

WEATHER: Partly Cloudy, 42º, Wind NE 4 mph • TIME: 3:14 • ATTENDANCE: 74,155 Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, while fellow rookie Cassius Vaughn returned a kickoff 97 yards for a score, but the San Diego Chargers held on for a 33-28 win in each team’s regular-season finale. The Broncos struck first on the day after safety Renaldo Hill intercepted San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers and gave the Broncos’ offense possession at the Chargers’ 40-yard line. From there, Denver scored on the sixth play of the drive when Tebow found wide receiver Brandon Lloyd open on a 4-yard touchdown pass to give the Broncos a 7-0 lead. San Diego responded with 16 unanswered points in the second quarter, scoring on all four of their possessions in the period (1 TD, 3 FG). Rookie running back Ryan Mathews carried it in from 27yards out in the first minute of quarter for his first of three touchdowns on the day. Kicker Nate Kaeding then punctuated each of San Diego’s next three drives with field goals from 42, 45 and 47 yards to put the halftime margin at 16-7 in the Chargers’ favor. Mathews added his second rushing touchdown of the game from 12 yards out on San Diego’s first drive of the second half to increase the Chargers’ advantage to 23-7. Denver began its comeback effort with a 6-yard touchdown pass from Tebow to Eric Decker, marking the first career touchdown for the rookie wide receiver. The Chargers scored on their sixth-consecutive possession when Kaeding converted a 37-yard field goal to give San Diego a 26-14 advantage entering the fourth quarter. Faced with a fourth-and-1 situation on the Broncos' 31-yard line, the Chargers turned to Mathews who scampered 31 yards to the end zone for his third rushing touchdown of the afternoon and a 33-14 San Diego lead. It did not take long for Denver to answer, as rookie cornerback Cassius Vaughn took the ensuing kickoff 97 yards to the end zone, marking the Broncos first return touchdown of the season. Trailing 33-21, Denver’s defense forced San Diego to punt, and on the ensuing drive, Tebow led the Broncos down the field and capped the possession off with his sixth rushing touchdown of the season. Denver tight end Richard Quinn recovered the ensuing onside kick with 26 seconds remaining and the Broncos within one score at 33-28; however, the Broncos’ quest for a second consecutive come-from-behind effort fell short as San Diego batted down Tebow’s final pass attempt in the end zone. Lloyd became the first player in club history to lead the league in receiving yards, finishing with 1,448 yards after his five catch, 73-yard receiving day for the Broncos.

DENVER BRONCOS STARTERS, 1960-2010 SE

Listed below are the usual starters, by position, for the Denver Broncos on a season-by-season basis from 1960-2010. A player must have been the starter for the majority of the games that season to be designated as the starter. If the number of starting assignments at a position were virtually equal, two players have been listed with the player who had the greater playing time listed first. The term “Ret” is used to designate a player who was a kick return specialist.

2005 AFC Championship Game

DENVER BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos’ 2005 season ended one game short of Super Bowl XL with a 34-17 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship Game at INVESCO Field at Mile High in front of 76,775 fans. The Broncos’ defeat was their first ever at home in an AFC title game as the team entered its contest against Pittsburgh 4-0 in those situations. The loss snapped Denver’s 11-game overall home winning streak and was only the Broncos’ third defeat in their 15 all-time home postseason playoff games. A week after forcing five turnovers to beat the Patriots in the Divisional Round, Denver recorded four giveaways against the Steelers. Pittsburgh scored 24 points off two interceptions and two fumbles by the Broncos, who surrendered only 27 points off giveaways during the entire 2005 regular season. Pittsburgh converted 10-of-16 third-down attempts (62.5%), including eight of its first nine such attempts, to take control of the game. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger compiled a 124.9 passer rating, throwing for 275 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions to lead Pittsburgh to its sixth Super Bowl. Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer completed 18-of-30 passes (60.0%) for 223 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Denver wide receiver Rod Smith caught four passes for 61 yards (15.3 avg.), becoming the Broncos’ all-time leader in career postseason receptions (49). The Steelers scored the game’s first points on a 47-yard field goal by Jeff Reed at 4:11 of the first quarter. Pittsburgh extended its lead to 10-0 on a 12-yard touchdown grab by wide receiver Cedric Wilson at 14:54 of the second quarter. Jason Elam’s 23-yard field goal on Denver’s next drive trimmed the Broncos’ deficit, but the Steelers went ahead 17-3 on a 3-yard touchdown run by Jerome Bettis with 1:55 left in the first half. Plummer was intercepted on the first play of Denver’s ensuing series. The turnover proved costly as wide receiver Hines Ward caught a 17-yard touchdown pass with seven seconds remaining in the first half to put Denver behind 24-3. Plummer moved the Broncos within 14, 24-10, on a 30-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Ashley Lelie with 3:36 left in the third quarter. Denver also closed its deficit to 10, 27-17, on a 3yard touchdown run by Mike Anderson with 7:52 left in the game. The Steelers sealed the win on Roethlisberger’s 4-yard touchdown run at 2:59 of the fourth quarter.

2005 AFC Divisional Playoff Game

DENVER BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos ended the New England Patriots’ NFLrecord 10-game postseason winning streak with a 27-13 victory in an AFC Divisional Playoff Game in front of 76,238 fans at INVESCO Field at Mile High. The Broncos’ win against the two-time defending Super Bowl champions was their first playoff victory since the 1998 season and first ever at INVESCO Field at Mile High. Denver forced five turnovers against the Patriots, totaling two interceptions and three fumble recoveries that led to their first 24 points scored. Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey recorded the longest nonscoring interception return and second-longest overall interception return in NFL postseason history with a key 100-yard return late in the third quarter. Bailey’s play ended a potential go-ahead scoring drive by the Patriots and set up a touchdown to give the Broncos a 17-6 lead entering the final period. Denver quarterback Jake Plummer completed 15-of-26 passes (57.7%) for 197 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Wide receiver Rod Smith (96 yds., 1 TD) became Denver’s all-time playoff leader in receiving yards and kicker Jason Elam (2 FGs, 9 pts.) became its all-time leading scorer in the postseason with their performances against the Patriots. The game was scoreless for the first quarter-and-a-half before Adam Vinatieri’s 40-yard field goal put the Patriots ahead 3-0 at 3:48 of the second quarter. A 40-yard pass interference penalty drawn by Broncos wide receiver Ashley Lelie in the end zone with less than two minutes remaining in the first half led to a 1yard scoring run by Mike Anderson to give Denver a 7-3 lead. On the ensuing kickoff, Broncos punter Todd Sauerbrun forced a fumble that Denver recovered to set up a 50-yard field goal by Elam to put the Broncos ahead 10-3 at halftime. Vinatieri’s 32-yard field goal at 7:49 of the third quarter narrowed Denver’s lead to 10-6, but a costly turnover by the Patriots halted their comeback attempt. Bailey intercepted Tom Brady in the end zone with 1:03 left in the third quarter to end a potential go-ahead touchdown drive. After Bailey was forced out of bounds at the 1-yard line following his 100-yard return, Anderson scored on a run to put Denver up 17-6. Plummer’s 4-yard touchdown pass to Smith at 8:38 of the fourth quarter extended the Broncos’ lead to 24-6. A Patriots touchdown moved the team to within 11, 24-13, with 8:05 left to play, but Elam’s 34-yard field goal on Denver’s next drive sealed the Broncos’ victory.

2004 AFC Wild Card Playoff Game

DENVER BRONCOS

Peyton Manning threw for 458 yards with four touchdowns while also running for a score to lead the Indianapolis Colts over the Denver Broncos 49-24 in an AFC Wild Card Playoff Game at the RCA Dome in front of 56,609 fans. The Colts jumped out to a 14-0 first-quarter lead after Manning found James Mungro for a 2-yard touchdown pass and running back Edgerrin James scored on a 1-yard run. After Manning’s second touchdown of the day, a 19-yard strike to tight end Dallas Clark, the Broncos’ Jason Elam put Denver on the scoreboard with a 33-yard field goal. The Colts’ offense responded quickly, however, as Manning increased the lead to 35-3 with a 35-yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne and a 1-yard quarterback sneak in the closing seconds of the half. The Broncos fought back in the third quarter when quarterback Jake Plummer capped off a 10-play, 71-yard drive with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Rod Smith. After forcing the Colts to punt for just the second time all day, Plummer led Denver downfield once again and hit tight end Jeb Putzier for a 35-yard score. The touchdown concluded an 85yard drive, cutting the Broncos’ deficit to 35-17. Indianapolis denied Denver any thoughts of coming back when Manning connected with Wayne for the second time in the game for a 43-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter. The Broncos scored their final points on a 1-yard touchdown run by Tatum Bell at 7:45 of the fourth quarter, but it was not enough to catch up to the potent Colts offense, which posted 530 total yards for the game. Smith paced the Denver receivers with seven catches for 99 yards with one touchdown to give him 39 career postseason catches and move him past Ed McCaffrey (36) for third on the Broncos’ all-time playoff list. Putzier finished the contest with 67 yards on three receptions, including the 35-yard touchdown. Plummer completed 24-of-34 passes for 284 yards with two touchdowns while posting a passer rating of 103.1. For the Colts, Manning’s 458 passing yards were the most the Broncos ever yielded in a game and ranked as the secondmost passing yards in a playoff game in NFL history. Wayne also posted an impressive day, catching 10 passes for 221 yards with two scores, while Clark added 112 yards on six receptions with one touchdown.

2003 AFC Wild Card Playoff Game

DENVER BRONCOS

Denver’s 2003 season came to an end with a 41-10 loss to Indianapolis in an AFC Wild Card Playoff Game in front of 56,586 fans at the RCA Dome. On the game’s opening possession, Peyton Manning led the Colts 70 yards and capped the drive when he found Brandon Stokley for a 31-yard touchdown and an early lead. Denver answered on its first drive with a 49-yard Jason Elam field goal after penalties caused the drive to stall. Late in the first quarter, Manning completed a pass to Marvin Harrison, who fell near the Colts’ 29-yard line and after not being touched by a Broncos defender got up and ran the ball in for a touchdown and a 14-3 lead. With Denver unable to sustain a drive after picking up two holding penalties, Indianapolis took possession on its 20-yard-line after a Broncos punt. Manning engineered another successful touchdown drive (8 plays, 80 yards), culminating in a 23-yard touchdown pass to Harrison. After another Denver punt, Manning hit Stokley in stride, and he raced 87 yards for a touchdown to give the Colts a 28-3 lead with less than two minutes remaining in the half. Denver began to mount a drive, but Plummer’s pass intended for Rod Smith was intercepted by David Macklin and returned 21 yards to the Colts’ 42-yard-line. Mike Vanderjagt’s 27-yard field goal extended the Colts’ lead to 31-3 at the half. On Denver’s first possession of the third quarter, Plummer connected with Rod Smith for a 34-yard reception, moving the Broncos to the Colts’ 27-yard line before Elam’s 46-yard field goal attempt was blocked. Indianapolis was able to add to its lead by capping a 64-yard drive with a 7-yard touchdown pass from Manning to Reggie Wayne. Plummer—when hit from behind by Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney—fumbled on Denver’s next possession, and the ball was recovered by Rob Morris on Denver’s 20-yard line. Indianapolis settled for a 20-yard field goal that put it ahead 413. Midway through the fourth quarter after recovering a Colts fumble on its 38-yard-line, Denver finally found the end zone for the game’s final score when Plummer connected with Smith for a 7-yard touchdown. Plummer completed 23-of-30 passes for 181 yards with one touchdown but had a pair of interceptions. Clinton Portis led the Broncos with 68 rushing yards while Smith, Shannon Sharpe and Reuben Droughns each had five receptions.

2000 AFC Wild Card Playoff Game

DENVER BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos’ 2000 season ended with a 21-3 defeat at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens in an AFC Wild Card Playoff Game at PSINet Stadium in Baltimore on a blustery New Year’s Eve day in front of 69,638 fans. Denver’s offense managed just 177 yards—the club’s thirdlowest output in 28 postseason games—and nine first downs against a record-setting Ravens defense, which put an end to the Broncos’ seven-game postseason winning streak. After a scoreless first quarter, Baltimore put up the first points when Jamal Lewis reached the end zone from one yard out early in the second quarter to cap a 10-play, 75-yard drive. The Broncos answered with a 31-yard Jason Elam field goal to narrow the deficit to 7-3 when a promising 12-play, 68-yard drive stalled after a third-and-1 opportunity at the Ravens’ 12yard line. What followed would prove to be the play of the game, if not one of the more bizarre plays of the year. The Ravens’ Corey Harris returned the ensuing kickoff 15 yards to the Baltimore 42-yard line. On first-and-10, Baltimore’s Trent Dilfer attempted a screen pass to Lewis, who tipped the ball into and out of the hands of Denver cornerback Terrell Buckley. The loose ball was grabbed out of the air by former Broncos tight end Shannon Sharpe, who dashed 58 yards for a touchdown, boosting the lead to 14-3 at the half. Baltimore increased its lead to 21-3 late in the third quarter when Lewis ran 27 yards for his second touchdown of the day to cap the scoring. Denver managed just 83 yards on its eight second-half possessions and was held scoreless to preserve the lowest scoring output (3) in franchise postseason history. The Broncos penetrated Ravens territory just once all day and ran only seven plays on the Baltimore side of the field. Broncos quarterback Gus Frerotte, subbing for the injured Brian Griese, completed 13-of-28 passes for 124 yards with one interception. Denver’s Ed McCaffrey led all receivers with eight catches for 75 yards (9.4 avg.). Mike Anderson led the Broncos in rushing with 40 yards on 15 carries. Safety Billy Jenkins and defensive end Maa Tanuvasa each had sacks for the Broncos’ defense, which held Baltimore to 240 net yards of total offense and forced 10 punts. Denver also allowed the Ravens to convert just 4-of-14 (28.6%) of their third-down attempts.

Super Bowl XXXIII

DENVER BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos clinched their second consecutive World Championship with a 34-19 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl XXXIII before 74,803 fans at Miami’s Pro Player Stadium and millions more watching around the world. Denver became just the sixth franchise in NFL history to win back-to-back Super Bowl titles and posted the seventh repeat championship in Super Bowl history. Quarterback John Elway claimed the game’s Most Valuable Player award by completing 18-of-29 passes for 336 yards (third most in Super Bowl history at the time), including an 80-yard scoring toss to Rod Smith in the second quarter that tied for the second-longest TD pass in Super Bowl history. Elway also ran for a 3-yard score in the fourth quarter, making him the oldest player (38) to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl, eclipsing the mark he set a year earlier by scoring in Super Bowl XXXII. Elway’s accurate passing and the effective running of Terrell Davis, who set an NFL record with his seventh consecutive 100yard game in the postseason (102 yards), kept the Falcons off balance all night. The Broncos’ defense chipped in with two sacks and four takeaways, including two interceptions by Darrien Gordon, who set a Super Bowl record for most interception return yards in a game (108). Atlanta took the opening kickoff and capped its drive with a 32-yard Morten Andersen field goal before Denver answered with the game’s next 17 points. The first score came on a 1-yard run by Howard Griffith that ended a 10-play, 80-yard opening drive by the Broncos, and the lead was increased to 10-3 on a 26-yard Jason Elam field goal that capped Denver’s third possession. After Andersen missed a 26-yard field goal attempt, the Broncos answered with the Elway-to-Smith 80-yard score on the next play to push the lead to 17-3. The Falcons narrowed the margin to 17-6 at halftime with a 28-yard Andersen field goal. After a scoreless third quarter, Denver took advantage of Gordon’s first interception by capping a short 24-yard drive with another Griffith 1-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. Gordon’s second interception set up Elway’s 3-yard touchdown run that put Denver ahead 31-6 with 11:20 remaining. Two late touchdowns by Atlanta, sandwiched around a 37-yard Elam field goal, produced the final margin.

1998 AFC Championship Game

DENVER BRONCOS

The Broncos clinched their AFC-record sixth berth in a Super Bowl by defeating the New York Jets 23-10 in the AFC Championship Game before a crowd of 75,482 fans at Mile High Stadium and a CBS national television audience. After failing to score in the first half, the Broncos scored 20 third-quarter points to take control of the game. The win propelled Denver to the Super Bowl for the second consecutive season, matching the back-to-back Super Bowl appearances of the 1986 and ‘87 Broncos. The Jets took a 10-0 lead after John Hall’s 32-yard field goal in the second quarter and Curtis Martin’s 1-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter that was set up by a blocked punt at the Broncos’ 1-yard line. That touchdown proved to be just the wakeup call that Denver needed to ignite its offense as well as the unusually quiet Mile High crowd. On first-and-10 from the 36yard line, John Elway connected with Ed McCaffrey on a 47-yard pass play before finding fullback Howard Griffith for an 11-yard touchdown pass to narrow the Jets’ lead to 10-7. Then, a wind-stifled kickoff fumble was recovered by Broncos linebacker Keith Burns and turned into a 44-yard Jason Elam field goal to tie the game. Following another Elam field goal, the Broncos opened up a 10-point lead, 20-10, on Terrell Davis’ 31-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter. The Broncos’ defense, which deserved credit for keeping the club in the game in the first half while the offense sputtered, forced six turnovers (including two interceptions by Darrien Gordon) and held the Jets to 14 yards on 13 rushes. The four opponent fumbles recovered by Denver set a franchise postseason record. Davis set numerous records during the contest, including passing his own NFL-record total of 2,331 yards rushing in an entire season (regular and postseason combined) set in 1997 and rushing for 100 yards for the sixth consecutive postseason game to tie John Riggins for the most all time. He also passed Larry Csonka and Riggins for seventh and sixth place in career postseason rushing yards. Tight end Shannon Sharpe (two catches) tied Vance Johnson (40) for the most career receptions in the postseason by a Bronco while Elam’s three field goals tied a Denver single-game playoff record. With its win, Denver maintained a perfect record (12-0) when leading after three quarters in the playoffs.

1998 AFC Divisional Playoff Game

DENVER BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos won their fifth consecutive postseason contest and advanced to the AFC Championship Game for the second year in a row with a record-setting 38-3 win against the Miami Dolphins in an AFC Divisional Playoff Game played before 75,729 raucous fans at Mile High Stadium. The 35-point differential represented Denver’s largest margin of victory in a postseason game and was punctuated by a defensive effort that limited Miami to just 14 yards on 13 carries for an average of 1.1 yards per rush that set a club playoff record. The three points allowed also were the fewest allowed by Denver in a postseason game. The Broncos’ offense was just as sharp, putting points on the board in all four quarters, including 14 in both the first and fourth quarters. Denver’s two first-quarter touchdowns both came courtesy of Terrell Davis, who scored on runs of one and 20 yards, the latter of which would qualify for any highlight film as Davis juked two Dolphins defenders with separate moves as he dashed to the end zone. Davis was, unequivocally, the offensive star, posting a franchise-record 199 yards on 21 carries that represented the fourth-highest single-game rushing output in NFL postseason history. Miami closed the gap to 14-3 in the second quarter, scoring its only points of the game on a 22-yard Olindo Mare field goal, but Denver answered with an 11-play, 87-yard drive capped by Derek Loville’s 11-yard touchdown run to increase its lead to 21-3 at halftime. The Broncos pushed the margin to 24-3 early in the third quarter when Jason Elam converted a 32-yard field goal and put the game out of reach early in the fourth quarter when John Elway hooked up with Rod Smith for a 28-yard touchdown play that was the quarterback’s 25th career postseason touchdown, tying him for fourth place in NFL history. The icing on the cake was provided when Neil Smith picked up a fumble forced by cornerback Darrius Johnson at the Broncos’ 21-yard line and ran it back 79 yards for his first career playoff score. It gave the Broncos a 38-3 lead that held over the final 9:49 for Denver’s largest postseason win in club history. Tight end Shannon Sharpe led all Broncos with five catches while Smith posted a team-high 71 yards on four receptions. Defensively, Johnson and linebacker Bill Romanowski each intercepted Dan Marino. Johnson’s 48-yard interception return was the second longest in Broncos postseason history.

Super Bowl XXXII

DENVER BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos won their first Super Bowl and became the first AFC team in 14 years to claim the Vince Lombardi Trophy as they used a powerful running game and a solid defensive performance to dethrone the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers 31-24 in front of 68,912 fans at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. Denver running back Terrell Davis was named the game’s Most Valuable Player in recognition of his 157-yard rushing effort, which included a Super Bowl-record three rushing touchdowns (each from one yard out). His three total touchdowns and 18 points tied Super Bowl records and were made even more remarkable by the fact that he missed almost the entire second quarter when he was sidelined by the onset of a migraine headache. Both offenses displayed their talents immediately as Super Bowl XXXII became the first ever in which each team scored a touchdown on its opening possession. The Packers struck first when Brett Favre connected with Antonio Freeman on a 22-yard scoring pass, and the Broncos answered by driving 58 yards in 10 plays the first time they touched the ball, scoring on a 1-yard Davis touchdown run with 5:39 left in the first quarter. The Broncos turned two Packers turnovers into 10 more points to take a 17-7 lead in the second quarter. The first opportunity was created when strong safety Tyrone Braxton intercepted a Favre pass, and eight plays later, John Elway rushed around right end for a 1-yard touchdown. Free safety Steve Atwater sacked Favre on the next Green Bay possession, forcing a fumble that was recovered by defensive end Neil Smith. Four plays later, Jason Elam converted a 51-yard field goal, the second-longest in Super Bowl history. Green Bay pulled within 17-14 with a touchdown just before halftime and tied the score early in the third quarter on a 27-yard Ryan Longwell field goal. Denver broke the tie late in the third quarter on a 1-yard Davis touchdown run. After a Denver interception, Green Bay would move 85 yards in just four plays to tie the game at 24 early in the fourth quarter. After the Denver defense turned back the Packers on their next two possessions, the Broncos set up shop at the Packers’ 49-yard line for their game-winning drive. Five plays later, Davis scored his third touchdown of the day from one yard out to give Denver a 3124 lead that would hold up over the final 1:45 for the victory.

1997 AFC Championship Game

DENVER BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos advanced to their fifth Super Bowl— and their first since 1989—with a 24-21 victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship Game in front of 61,382 fans at Three Rivers Stadium. The Broncos became just the fifth Wild Card team to reach to the Super Bowl since the Wild Card format was established in 1970. Denver quarterback John Elway was intercepted by Levon Kirkland on the game’s second play, but the Steelers failed to capitalize when Norm Johnson’s 38-yard field goal attempt sailed wide to the left. Denver then got on the board when Davis, who rushed for 139 yards to become the club’s all-time postseason rushing leader, capped a 6-play, 72-yard drive with an 8-yard scoring run on its second possession. Pittsburgh evened the score on its next possession when quarterback Kordell Stewart rushed 33 yards around right end for a touchdown to punctuate a 6-play, 65-yard drive that covered 3:02. The Steelers then broke the tie early in the second quarter when Jerome Bettis powered his way into the end zone from one yard out to put the finishing touches on an 11-play, 68-yard drive that lasted 4:46 and put them ahead 14-7. The Broncos scored the game’s next 17 points and put the game away as the defense held up its end of the bargain down the stretch. The scoring began with a 43-yard Jason Elam field goal with 8:20 remaining in the first half. After each team punted on its next possession, Denver got the ball back when Ray Crockett intercepted a Stewart bomb in the end zone, setting up a 14-point assault that sent Denver to the locker room ahead 24-14. Elway connected with Howard Griffith for a 15-yard touchdown with 1:47 remaining before finding Ed McCaffrey for a 1-yard touchdown with 13 seconds left in the half. Denver rode that 24-14 lead into the fourth quarter before the Steelers scored the only points of the second half on a 14yard Stewart-to-Charles Johnson touchdown pass with 2:46 remaining. But the Broncos succeeded in running out the clock on their final possession and established a new franchise record with their 15th win of the season. Elway tied Roger Staubach for fourth place on the NFL’s alltime list for postseason touchdown passes (24) with his two on the day, and the Broncos’ three interceptions tied the franchise postseason record for most in a game. Three different Denver players also registered one sack in the win.

1997 AFC Divisional Playoff Game

DENVER BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos posted their first road playoff win in 11 years—and only the second in franchise history—with a 14-10 victory against Kansas City in front of 76,965 fans at Arrowhead Stadium. Denver advanced to its first AFC Championship Game since 1991 on the strength of two Terrell Davis touchdowns, which tied the franchise postseason record for the second week in a row, and a defensive effort that limited the Chiefs to just 10 points that tied for the fewest allowed in club playoff history. Davis broke a scoreless tie late in the second quarter, plowing into the end zone from one yard out to give Denver a 7-0 lead with 1:56 remaining in the half to cap an 8-play, 65-yard drive that covered 4:51 on the clock. Key to the drive was a 17yard John Elway completion to Rod Smith on third-and-7 that gave the Broncos a first down at the Kansas City 4-yard line. The Chiefs, limited to 58 yards of total offense in the first half, came out strong in the third quarter, moving the ball to the Denver 6-yard line before settling for a 20-yard Pete Stoyanovich field goal. Kansas City struck again late in the quarter when Elvis Grbac found tight end Tony Gonzalez in the back of the end zone for a 12-yard score, marking the Chiefs’ only touchdown. Denver, however, answered on its ensuing possession by driving 49 yards in six plays for what proved to be the gamewinning touchdown. The key play of the drive was a 43-yard Elway-to-Ed McCaffrey completion on third-and-5 from the Chiefs’ 44-yard line that gave Denver a first down at the Kansas City 1-yard line. After two unsuccessful attempts from close range, Davis muscled his way through the middle of the Chiefs’ line for his second touchdown of the day and the fifth of his career in the postseason to establish a franchise record. Kansas City had possession three more times in the game but was turned back each occasion by the Broncos’ defense after reaching Denver’s 31 (punt), their own 36 (punt) and the Broncos’ 20-yard line with 0:19 left (downs). The final play was a pass to the end zone on fourth-and-2 that was knocked down by Darrien Gordon, ending the Chiefs’ hopes and propelling Denver to the AFC title game. Elway, with 170 passing yards, moved into second place in NFL postseason history in that category. He surpassed both Terry Bradshaw (3,833) and Jim Kelly (3,863) to finish the day at 3,940 career passing yards in the playoffs.

1997 AFC Wild Card Playoff Game

DENVER BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos advanced to the AFC Divisional Playoff Round by literally running the Jacksonville Jaguars out of town as they piled up a club postseason-record 310 rushing yards en route to a 42-17 victory in front of 74,481 fans at Mile High Stadium. Denver set numerous team postseason records during the contest, including new standards for rushing attempts (49), total yards (511), points in a quarter (21; 4th qtr.), total points (42), first downs (28), rushing first downs (18) and third-down efficiency (75%), while the 237 yards allowed by the defense was the second-lowest total in Denver’s 21-game playoff history. The Broncos scored touchdowns on each of their first three possessions, racking up a 21-0 lead on 32 offensive plays during which time the Jaguars ran only six plays. Terrell Davis capped Denver’s opening drive with a 2-yard touchdown run, and Rod Smith punctuated the next drive when he reeled in a 43-yard touchdown pass from John Elway. The lead was increased to 210 when Davis—who set franchise postseason records for rushing attempts (31), rushing yards (184) and longest run from scrimmage (59) before leaving in the third quarter with bruised ribs— tied the franchise records for rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns in a postseason game with his second of the day. The Jaguars answered by scoring the game’s next 17 points. Jacksonville scored on a 1-yard Natrone Means touchdown run in the second quarter, a 38-yard Mike Hollis field goal early in the third quarter and a blocked punt by safety Travis Davis, who returned it 29 yards for a touchdown to pull the Jaguars to within 21-17 with 9:16 left in the third quarter. But the Broncos dominated from there as Derek Loville took over for the injured Davis and slashed his way to 103 yards (second most by a Bronco in the postseason) on 11 attempts and scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns on runs of 25 and eight yards to tie the club touchdown record already achieved in the game by Davis. Vaughn Hebron then got into the act, scoring Denver’s fifth rushing touchdown of the day on a 6-yard run with 1:11 remaining to push the lead to its final margin of 4217. With Davis’ 184 rushing yards and Loville’s 103, Denver became just the third team in NFL postseason history to boast two 100-yard rushers in the same game. Additionally, Denver’s 40:59 possession time and its 310 rushing yards both were the fifth-highest totals recorded in an NFL playoff game.

DENVER BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos’ most successful season since 1991 came to a surprising end at the hands of the Jacksonville Jaguars with a 30-27 loss in an AFC Divisional Playoff Game in front of 75,678 stunned fans at Mile High Stadium. The loss was Denver’s first of the season at home and only its second ever at home in the postseason. The contest began on a promising note for the Broncos as they scored on two of their first three possessions to take a 120 lead into the second quarter. First, Vaughn Hebron scored his first-ever postseason touchdown on a 1-yard plunge on fourth down. During that drive, Terrell Davis set a franchise record for the longest postseason run with a 47-yard scamper. On Denver’s next possession, Shannon Sharpe hauled in an 18yard touchdown from John Elway to produce the 12-point lead. The Jaguars proceeded to score on five unanswered possessions (three field goals and two touchdowns) to take a 2312 lead at the 10:51 mark of the fourth quarter. The Broncos responded with a 9-play, 57-yard drive that was capped by a 2-yard touchdown run by Davis, who then tacked on the two-point conversion himself to cut the deficit to 3, 23-20. But then Mark Brunell connected with Jimmy Smith for a touchdown on a critical third-and-5 play at the Broncos’ 16-yard line with 3:39 remaining in the game to restore a 10-point advantage. The Broncos again pulled to within three points when Elway found Ed McCaffrey in the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown with 1:50 left, but Denver’s magic ran out as the Jaguars held on for the 30-27 win. During the contest, Elway, who played in his franchiserecord 15th postseason game, passed Terry Bradshaw for fourth place on the all-time NFL postseason list for pass attempts. He finished the day with 226 yards on 25-of-38 passing with two touchdowns. Davis gained 91 yards on the ground with one touchdown and safety Tyrone Braxton led the Broncos with 11 tackles on defense, but those efforts were not enough to overcome Jacksonville’s onslaught. Natrone Means, who led Jacksonville’s 203-yard rushing attack, totaled 140 yards on 21 carries (6.7 avg.). Brunell added 44 more yards on seven rushes and completed 18-of-29 (62.1%) passes for 245 yards with two touchdowns for the Jaguars, who posted 443 yards of total offense.

1993 AFC Wild Card Game

DENVER BRONCOS

Facing the Los Angeles Raiders for the second time in as many weeks, the Denver Broncos saw the Raiders pull away from a 21-21 halftime tie en route to a 42-24 win in an AFC Wild Card Game in front of 65,314 fans at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Denver quarterback John Elway completed 29-of-47 passes (61.7%) for 302 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while tight end Shannon Sharpe hauled in a game-high 13 receptions for 156 yards (12.0 avg.) with one touchdown. The Raiders struck first on a 7-play, 80-yard drive that was capped with a 9-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jeff Hostetler to tight end Ethan Horton at 9:17 of the first quarter. Elway and the Broncos responded with a scoring drive of their own, going 65 yards in seven plays with Elway finding Sharpe for a 23-yard touchdown. The Raiders bounced back with a 65yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Tim Brown to take a 14-7 lead at 2:25 of the first quarter. The Broncos responded by driving 80 yards in 12 plays, setting up a 16-yard touchdown toss from Elway to tight end Reggie Johnson to tie the score. Hostetler continued to be red hot on the Raiders’ next possession, throwing a 54-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver James Jett for a 21-14 lead at 7:28 of the second quarter. On the Broncos’ final drive of the half, the offense chewed up nearly seven minutes and went 77 yards to tie the score at 21 on wide receiver Derek Russell’s 6-yard touchdown reception. Elway showed his ability to create plays for the offense, completing passes to six different receivers and taking off on two rushes of his own during the drive. The two teams combined for nearly 500 yards of total offense by halftime, but only the Raiders continued that pace in the second half. After receiving the opening kickoff, the Broncos failed to move the ball on their first three possessions, giving the Raiders great field position after three punts that averaged 30 yards. The Raiders took advantage of the field position, converting two of those possessions into touchdowns on drives of three and five plays, respectively, to take a commanding 35-21 lead at 4:27 of the third quarter. The Broncos made a dent in the score at the beginning of the fourth period on a 33-yard field goal by Jason Elam at 12:36. The Raiders responded to that with a 10-play, 76-yard drive that was capped by Napoleon McCallum’s third touchdown of the game from one yard out at 6:43 to mark the final points scored on the afternoon.

1991 AFC Championship Game

DENVER BRONCOS

The Broncos were denied their fifth AFC Championship, losing 10-7 to the Bills before 80,272 fans at Rich Stadium. Denver’s defense shut down the high-powered Buffalo offense, limiting it to just 213 total yards and only 12 first downs, but the Broncos’ offense failed to capitalize on several first-half opportunities. Both teams struggled to find their offenses in the first two quarters, and the game was scoreless at halftime. Buffalo punted on its first two drives of the contest after a total net gain of negative two yards and had its third drive end when nose tackle Greg Kragen tipped and then intercepted a pass on the Buffalo 29. But Denver could not take advantage as David Treadwell’s 47-yard field goal attempt sailed wide left. After the Broncos halted another Buffalo drive, Treadwell missed a 42-yard field goal attempt. Once again, the Bills punted after failing to get a first down, and a 10-yard punt return by Vance Johnson set Denver up on the 50. On first down, quarterback John Elway threw a middle screen to running back Steve Sewell, who gained 26 yards to the Buffalo 24. The Broncos could move no closer than the 20, and Treadwell’s 37-yard field goal attempt was wide right to end the last scoring threat of the first half. The Bills’ second drive of the third quarter began at their 20, and 11 plays later, they faced a third-and-7 on Denver’s 26. Quarterback Jim Kelly’s pass to James Lofton was intercepted by cornerback Tyrone Braxton and returned to the Denver 19. On second-and-10, Elway attempted another middle screen to Sewell, but linebacker Carlton Bailey picked off the pass and ran 11 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 Buffalo lead. The Broncos’ first possession of the fourth quarter began with Gary Kubiak at quarterback after Elway left the game with an injured thigh muscle. Kubiak drove Denver from its 21 to the Buffalo 23, but the Broncos failed to convert a fourth-down attempt. The Bills then drove 50 yards in nine plays to score on a 44-yard field goal by Scott Norwood. Now down 10-0, Kubiak engineered a frantic drive in which Denver covered 85 yards in eight plays, and he scored on a 3-yard quarterback draw to pull Denver within 3 points, 10-7, with less than two minutes to play. The ensuing onside kickoff was recovered by the Broncos’ Steve Atwater, and Denver began its last-chance drive on its 49 with 1:43 left on the clock and two timeouts. On first down, Kubiak hit Sewell for seven yards, but cornerback Kirby Jackson stripped the ball away and recovered it on the Buffalo 44. The Broncos’ defense forced the Bills to punt, but Denver could only reach the 50 as time ran out.

1991 AFC Divisional Playoff Game

DENVER BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos advanced to their fourth AFC Championship Game in six years after defeating the Houston Oilers 26-24 in front of 75,301 fans at Mile High Stadium. Houston quarterback Warren Moon drove his team 70 yards in four plays for a touchdown to put the Oilers up 7-0 with only 1:46 gone in the game. After a Denver punt, Moon again drove the Oilers down the field and threw his second touchdown pass, this one for nine yards to wide receiver Drew Hill for a 14-0 lead. The Broncos started their next possession on their 35-yard line and covered 65 yards in eight plays to score on a 10-yard pass from quarterback John Elway to wide receiver Vance Johnson, but a fumbled snap on the conversion attempt left the score 14-6. On the sixth play of the ensuing Oilers drive, Moon was intercepted by free safety Steve Atwater, but a roughing the passer call nullified the effort. Three plays later, Houston scored on a 6-yard pass from Moon to wide receiver Curtis Duncan. The next Oilers possession ended when Atwater intercepted a pass and gave Denver the ball on its own 12 with 6:03 left in the half. In a drive that saw Elway complete all six passes for 64 yards and Steve Sewell complete one to Johnson for 10, the Broncos covered 88 yards in 12 plays to score on a 1-yard run by running back Greg Lewis, cutting the Houston lead to 21-13. After a missed Houston field goal attempt, the Broncos drove from their 20 to Houston’s 31 and David Treadwell nailed a 49yard field goal, the longest in Denver postseason history. Now up by only five at 21-16, the Oilers reached the Broncos’ 7-yard line on their next drive but had to settle for a 25-yard field goal. The Broncos started on their 20-yard line for their next possession and converted a fourth-and-4 from the Houston 41 to keep the drive going. Lewis’ 1-yard touchdown run cut Denver’s deficit to one, 24-23, with seven minutes remaining. With 2:07 left and on his 2-yard-line, Elway found wide receiver Michael Young for a 22-yard gain on first down, but three plays later the Broncos had a fourth-and-6 on the 28. Elway dropped back then scrambled left upfield and ran out of bounds a yard past the first-down marker. Three consecutive incompletions again left Denver with a do-or-die fourth-down situation. Elway again dropped back and scrambled left, but as he headed upfield he tossed a pass to Johnson, who ran to the Houston 21 for a 44-yard gain. Broncos running back Steve Sewell ran for 10 yards on first down, and two plays later, Treadwell came on for the game-winning 28-yard field goal.

Super Bowl XXIV

DENVER BRONCOS

The San Francisco 49ers captured their fourth World Championship with a 55-10 victory against the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXIV at the Louisiana Superdome in front of 72,919 fans. San Francisco quarterback Joe Montana completed 22-of-29 passes for 297 yards with five touchdowns, including three to wide receiver Jerry Rice. The 49ers scored two touchdowns in every quarter and outgained the Broncos 461 yards to 167. After stopping Denver on the game’s initial possession, San Francisco drove 66 yards in 10 plays, scoring on a 20-yard pass from Montana to Rice. The Broncos’ next possession covered 49 yards in 10 plays and resulted in a 42-yard field goal by David Treadwell. After limiting the 49ers to four yards on their next drive, Denver took possession on its own 49, but on first down, running back Bobby Humphrey fumbled and defensive end Kevin Fagan recovered for San Francisco on its 46. That turnover led to a 7-yard touchdown pass from Montana to tight end Brent Jones, and after a failed extra point attempt, San Francisco led 13-3 with three seconds left in the first quarter. The Broncos failed to cross midfield in the second quarter while the 49ers scored on a 1-yard run by running back Tom Rathman and a 38-yard pass from Montana to Rice, taking a 273 lead into halftime. San Francisco was unable to move the ball on the opening possession of the second half, but Elway was intercepted on the first play of Denver’s next drive to give the 49ers possession on the Broncos’ 28. On first down, Montana threw a touchdown pass to Rice to put his team up 34-3 with 2:12 gone in the third quarter. The next Denver drive also ended with an interception, leading to a 35-yard scoring pass from Montana to John Taylor. The Broncos, spurred by a 34-yard run by Humphrey, moved 61 yards in five plays and a penalty to score on a 3-yard run by Elway. San Francisco roared back with an 11-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a 3-yard touchdown run by Rathman. Following another Broncos fumble, running back Roger Craig plowed into the end zone on a 1-yard run to round out the scoring early in the fourth quarter and give the 49ers a 55-10 victory.

1989 AFC Championship Game

DENVER BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos won their third American Football Conference Championship in four years with a dynamic 37-21 victory over Cleveland before 76,005 fans at Mile High Stadium. Broncos quarterback John Elway threw for 385 yards and three touchdowns, running back Sammy Winder tied a Denver postseason record with two touchdowns and strong safety Dennis Smith posted two of the Broncos’ three interceptions. Denver also totaled 497 yards of offense, averaging 6.5 yards on 76 plays. The Broncos took the opening kickoff and drove to the Cleveland 1, but on third down, Elway’s pitch to running back Bobby Humphrey was fumbled and the Browns’ Andrew Stewart recovered on the 8. With five minutes left in the first quarter, Smith picked off a Bernie Kosar pass and returned it to the Cleveland 32. Denver moved to the Cleveland 12 but had to settle for a 29-yard field goal by David Treadwell. Neither team mounted scoring drives until the Broncos took possession on their own 18 with 6:54 left in the half. On first down, Elway hit wide receiver Mark Jackson for 12 yards, and three plays later he connected with wide receiver Michael Young for a 70-yard touchdown that put Denver ahead 10-0 at the half. The Browns took the opening kickoff of the second half and drove 70 yards in eight plays, scoring on a 27-yard pass from Kosar to Brian Brennan. Denver roared right back on its next possession, going 80 yards in six plays and scoring on a 5-yard pass from Elway to tight end Orson Mobley on a drive sparked by a 53-yard Young reception. The Broncos began their next possession at their 40-yard line and, buoyed by a 25-yard run by Elway, covered 60 yards in six plays and scored on a 7-yard run by Winder, making the score 24-7 late in the third quarter. The Browns needed just six plays to go 72 yards and score on a 10-yard Kosar-to-Brennan pass, and two plays into Denver’s next drive, Cleveland’s Felix Wright recovered a Denver fumble and returned it to the Broncos’ 1. On second down, Tim Manoa barreled in from the 2, cutting Denver’s lead to 24-21 with one second left in the third quarter. The Broncos shut out the Browns in the fourth quarter while posting 13 points of their own. A 39-yard touchdown grab by Winder along with two Treadwell field goals accounted for Denver’s final points of the afternoon.

1989 AFC Divisional Playoff Game

DENVER BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos advanced to their third AFC Championship Game in four years with a come-from-behind 24-23 victory against the Steelers before 75,868 fans at Mile High Stadium. Although Pittsburgh held the upper hand in total yards (404 to 364) and time of possession (34:14 to 25:46), Denver was able to mount a late fourth-quarter drive and score the winning touchdown with just 2:27 remaining. The Steelers took the opening kickoff and drove 65 yards in 13 plays, scoring on a 32-yard Gary Anderson field goal. Following a 45-yard run by Merril Hoge and a 33-yard Bubby Brister-to-Tim Worley pass play, the Steelers were knocking on the door again and scored three plays later on a 7-yard run by Hoge. The score put Pittsburgh ahead 10-0 with 1:38 gone in the second quarter. The Broncos took their first possession of the second quarter and drove 75 yards in 12 plays to score on a 1-yard plunge by running back Mel Bratton on third-and-goal. The Steelers bounced back, traveling 77 yards in 12 plays to score on a 9yard pass from Brister to wide receiver Louis Lipps. The Broncos got the ball back on their own 33 with 20 seconds left in the half. Two Elway passes put Denver at the Pittsburgh 26 with two seconds left, setting up David Treadwell’s 43-yard field goal that pulled Denver within 17-10 at halftime. Early in the third quarter, Denver nose tackle Greg Kragen forced a Tim Worley fumble that cornerback Tyrone Braxton recovered for the Broncos on the Steelers’ 37-yard line. On first down, Elway found wide receiver Vance Johnson for a touchdown to tie the score at 17. Pittsburgh’s next two possessions ended in Anderson field goals, and the Steelers held a 23-17 lead in the early stages of the fourth quarter. After an exchange of punts, the Broncos took possession on their own 29 with 7:06 left in the game. Elway connected with Jackson for 18 yards and then handed off to running back Bobby Humphrey, who pitched the ball back to Elway, setting up his 36yard strike to Johnson that gave Denver a first down on the Steelers’ 26. Humphrey ran on the next four plays, gaining 24 yards and taking the ball to the 2. On third-and-goal from the 1, Bratton scored again and Treadwell’s extra point gave Denver its first lead of the game with 2:27 left in regulation. Pittsburgh got the ball on its own 20, but on third down Brister’s signals were drowned out by the crowd and he mishandled the snap. Randy Robbins recovered for Denver on the Pittsburgh 18, and the Broncos were able to run out the clock.

Super Bowl XXII

DENVER BRONCOS

The Washington Redskins scored 35 points in the second quarter to power their way to a 42-10 victory against the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXII at Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego in front of 73,302 fans. Super Bowl MVP Doug Williams of Washington completed 18-of-29 passes for 340 yards with four touchdowns while running back Timmy Smith gained 204 yards on 22 carries, scoring twice, and wide receiver Ricky Sanders caught nine passes for 193 yards (21.4 avg.) with two touchdowns. The Broncos took an early lead on their first play from scrimmage, a 56-yard pass from John Elway to Ricky Nattiel that occurred with 1:57 gone in the game. Denver’s next possession stalled at the Redskins’ 7-yard line, but Rich Karlis put the Broncos up 10-0 with a 24-yard field goal. In the second quarter, however, Denver’s dreams of a World Championship were blown apart by the Redskins. On Washington’s first play of the quarter, Williams and Sanders connected for an 80-yard touchdown pass to bring the score to 10-7. The Redskins took the lead for good on the fifth play of their next possession when Williams found Gary Clark for a 27yard touchdown. Denver got as far as the Washington 26 on its next drive, but Karlis’ 43-yard field goal attempt sailed wide left. Two plays later, Smith scored on a 58-yard run to increase the Washington lead to 21-10. The Redskins’ next possession ended with a 50yard Williams-to-Sanders touchdown pass, and minutes later, Williams and Clint Didier combined for an 8-yard touchdown pass to give the Redskins a 35-10 lead at halftime. The Broncos could move only as far as the Redskins’ 48-yard line in the second half, and Washington closed out the scoring late in the game on a 4-yard run by Smith. The Redskins finished with 602 total yards, including the 340 passing yards from Williams. Their defense limited Denver to 327 total yards while holding Elway to just 14-of-38 passing for 257 yards and intercepting him three times. The Broncos were only able to total 97 rushing yards in the game and were held to 2-of-12 (16.7%) success on third downs.

The Broncos’ Jeremiah Castille recovered a Cleveland fumble on Denver’s 3-yard line with just over a minute left in the game, helping the club to a 38-33 victory against the Browns in the AFC Championship Game in front of 75,993 fans at Mile High Stadium. An interception by defensive end Freddie Gilbert set up the Broncos’ first score of the afternoon. Quarterback John Elway found wide receiver Ricky Nattiel for an 8-yard touchdown at 3:38 of the first quarter that put Denver ahead 7-0. After Gene Lang took off on a 42-yard run, which set a franchise record for the longest postseason rush, Denver faced third-and-goal from the Cleveland 3 late in the first quarter. Elway threw incomplete into the end zone, but the Browns were penalized for holding, giving the Broncos new life at the 1-yard line. Running back Steve Sewell scored on first down to give Denver a 14-0 lead 11:06 into the first quarter. The Browns scored their first points of the game on a 24-yard Matt Bahr field goal at 1:41 of the second quarter. Denver answered at 6:59 of the quarter with a 1-yard Lang touchdown run that upped its lead to 21-3. After Elway was intercepted by Felix Wright four plays into the second half, Cleveland needed just three plays to go 35 yards and score on an 18-yard pass from Bernie Kosar to Reggie Langhorne. The Broncos answered when Elway scrambled right and threw to Mark Jackson, who caught the ball at the Broncos’ 25, evaded two tacklers and sprinted for an 80-yard touchdown that gave the Broncos a 28-10 lead at 5:03 of the third quarter. The Browns pulled within 28-17 when Kosar found Earnest Byner for a 32-yard touchdown at 8:10 of the third quarter. Cleveland narrowed the Broncos’ lead to 28-24 on a Byner 4yard touchdown run at 11:15 of the third quarter. Just before the end of the third period, Rich Karlis capped off a Denver possession with a 38-yard field goal. The Browns tied the score at 31 on a 4-yard touchdown pass from Kosar to Webster Slaughter at 4:12 of the final period. Denver went ahead 38-31 with just over four minutes left to play on a 20-yard Elway-to-Sammy Winder touchdown pass. Kosar and the Browns advanced to the Denver 8-yard line with 1:12 remaining when Byner had the ball stripped by Castille, who recovered the fumble at the 3-yard line. Denver took a late safety before time ran out on the Browns.

1987 AFC Divisional Playoff Game

DENVER BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos advanced to the AFC Championship Game after beating the Houston Oilers 34-10 in front of 75,968 fans at Mile High Stadium. Denver’s 24-point win was the largest margin of victory ever for the club in postseason play. The Broncos were led on defense by Mark Haynes and Karl Mecklenburg, who both picked up key interceptions. Offensively, the club was led by quarterback John Elway (14-of25 for 259 yards with two touchdowns) and wide receivers Vance Johnson (4 catches for 105 yards) and Clarence Kay (3 catches for 57 yards with two touchdowns). Punter Mike Horan put the Oilers in a hole after the Broncos’ first drive stalled, sending a punt to the Houston 5-yard line, where two plays later, a lateral pass from Warren Moon to Mike Rozier was fumbled. Steve Wilson recovered for Denver on the 1-yard line, and two plays later running back Gene Lang scored to give the Broncos an early 7-0 lead. Houston’s next drive reached the Broncos’ 20-yard line before Mecklenburg intercepted a pass and returned it to the Denver 28. Elway hit Kay for 29 yards to move into Houston territory, and five plays later the same connection was made for a 27-yard touchdown pass that gave the Broncos a 14-0 lead. Both teams added field goals on their first drive of the second quarter to make the score 17-3 in Denver’s favor. After the Houston field goal, Elway threw a 55-yard pass to Johnson, moving the ball to the Oilers’ 11. Five plays later, Elway found Kay again for a touchdown on a 1-yard pass to increase the lead to 24-3 with less than two minutes left in the half. Denver’s first possession of the third quarter resulted in a Rich Karlis field goal that gave the club a 27-3 lead. Houston then took 10 plays to reach the Denver 7, but Haynes picked off a Moon pass in the end zone and returned it 57 yards to halt the scoring threat. Houston’s next drive reached the Broncos’ 11, but a pass on fourth down fell incomplete. The Oilers got the ball back three plays later when Patrick Allen intercepted an Elway pass, and that led to a 19-yard touchdown pass from Moon to Ernest Givins, cutting Denver’s lead to 27-10 at 6:38 of the final period. The Broncos’ Kevin Clark recovered the onside kick that followed, and Denver moved 52 yards on seven plays to score the final points of the game on a 3-yard run by Elway.

Super Bowl XXI

DENVER BRONCOS

The New York Giants broke open a close game with 24 unanswered points to begin the second half, capturing a 39-20 win over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXI at the Rose Bowl in front of 101,063 fans. The Broncos drove to the Giants’ 31-yard line on their opening drive and took a 3-0 lead when Rich Karlis booted a Super Bowl record-tying 48-yard field goal. New York answered with a 78-yard scoring drive that culminated with a 6-yard touchdown pass from Phil Simms to Zeke Mowatt. Late in the first quarter, Elway scored the Broncos’ first touchdown from four yards out on a quarterback draw to give them a 10-7 lead. On the third play of their next drive, Elway threw a 54-yard pass to Vance Johnson that gave the Broncos a first down at the Giants’ 28. But Denver failed to capitalize on the play with Karlis missing a 23-yard field goal attempt. Denver’s defense stifled the Giants’ next drive at the New York 47, and after a punt, the Broncos got the ball back on their own 15. Controversy entered the game when on second-and-12, Elway threw an apparent completion for a first down to Clarence Kay. The pass was ruled incomplete, a call that was upheld after review of the television replay. On the next play, Giants defensive end George Martin sacked Elway in the end zone for a safety to pull New York within a point of Denver at 10-9. Another missed field goal, a 34-yard attempt, by the Broncos with 13 seconds left in the first half sent the club into halftime with a narrow 1-point lead. New York scored on all three of its third-quarter drives, taking a 26-10 lead after outgaining Denver 163 yards to 2 in the period. The Giants extended their lead to 33-10 in the fourth quarter when Phil McConkey caught a deflected pass in the end zone for Simms’ third touchdown pass of the day. Denver got the ball back at its own 16, and Elway moved the squad deep into New York territory to set up Karlis’ 28-yard field goal that made the score 33-13. The Giants took only five plays to cover 46 yards for their next touchdown, a 2-yard run by Ottis Anderson that increased their lead to 39-13. Elway drove the Broncos down the field again and found Johnson for a 47-yard touchdown pass for the game’s final points at 12:54 of the fourth quarter.

1986 AFC Championship Game

DENVER BRONCOS

In a game that will forever be remembered as “The Drive,” Rich Karlis kicked a 33-yard field goal 5:48 into overtime to give the Denver Broncos a 23-20 victory against the Cleveland Browns in the 1986 AFC Championship Game. The contest was played at Cleveland Stadium in front of a crowd of 79,915 fans, who braved a wind chill of -5 degrees. Cleveland took a 7-0 lead when Bernie Kosar threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Herman Fontenot in the first quarter. The Broncos stopped the next two Browns drives with interceptions, including the second by Jim Ryan, whose return set up a 19yard field goal by Karlis to make the score 7-3. Ken Woodard recovered a fumble on Cleveland’s next drive, putting Denver in position for Gerald Willhite’s fourth-down 1-yard touchdown run at 4:24 of the second quarter that gave the club a 10-7 lead. Browns kicker Mark Moseley tied the score at 10 with a 29yard field goal with 20 seconds left in the first half. Denver regained the lead on a 26-yard Karlis field goal late in the third quarter, but the Browns responded as Kevin Mack rushed for 34 yards in a 10-play, 76-yard drive that culminated with a 24-yard Moseley field goal that tied the score at 13. After two Denver punts, Kosar’s 48-yard touchdown strike to Brian Brennan put Cleveland ahead 20-13 with 5:43 left in the game. The kickoff rolled to the Denver 2-yard line, where the Broncos and Elway began “The Drive.” On the fifth play (secondand-7 from the Broncos’ 15), Elway rushed for 11 yards and a first down. He then found Steve Sewell for a 22-yard gain followed by a 12-yard strike to Steve Watson that gave Denver a first down on the Cleveland 40. After an incompletion and an 8yard sack, Elway threw a 20-yard pass to Mark Jackson, moving the team to the Cleveland 28. An Elway-to-Sewell pass gave the Broncos a first down on the Browns’ 14 with 57 seconds left. After an incompletion, Elway ran nine yards to the Cleveland 5-yard line. On the next play, he hit Jackson for a touchdown, and Karlis’ extra point tied the score at 20 with 37 seconds left. The Browns won the coin toss in overtime and elected to receive, but Denver’s defense stopped them. Willhite returned the Cleveland punt to the Broncos’ 25, where the Denver offense went to work. On second-and-5, Elway hit Orson Mobley for a 22-yard gain and three plays later threw a 28-yard pass to Watson. With a first down on Cleveland’s 22-yard line, the Broncos rushed three times to get to the 15, and on fourth down, Karlis hit the 33-yard game-winning field goal.

1986 AFC Divisional Playoff Game

DENVER BRONCOS

Rulon Jones sacked Tony Eason in the end zone for a safety with 1:37 left on the clock to halt the Patriots’ final comeback drive and give Denver a 22-17 win in an AFC Divisional Playoff Game in front of 76,105 fans at Mile High Stadium. The postseason victory was the first for the Broncos since the 1977 season. The two teams traded punts for the first nine minutes of the game before Denver began its first scoring drive. Starting at their own 20, the Broncos took four plays to reach the New England 7-yard line behind John Elway completions of 39 and 21 yards. On second-and-goal from the 4, Elway rolled around the left side and was hit just short of the goal line. He was penalized (delay of game) for spiking the ball after the play, and that sent Denver back to the 6. Two plays later, Rich Karlis made a 27-yard field goal that gave Denver a 3-0 lead. New England mounted a 7-play, 87-yard drive later in the quarter with Eason hitting Stanley Morgan for a 19-yard touchdown. The Broncos roared right back with a 13-play, 82-yard drive that was punctuated by a 22-yard touchdown run by Elway, giving them a 10-7 lead midway through the second quarter. The Patriots tied the score on the final play of the first half with a 38-yard Tony Franklin field goal. Denver received the kickoff to open the second half and proceeded to chew up more than nine minutes off the clock. The Broncos ran the ball 11 times on the drive, which stalled on the Patriots’ 5-yard line. Karlis’ 22-yard field goal put Denver up 13-10. Five plays into the next New England drive, the Patriots took a page out of Dan Reeves’ bag of tricks, scoring on a flea-flicker that ended with a 45-yard touchdown pass from Eason to Morgan that gave New England its first lead of the game at 1713. Denver jumped right back on top, traveling 86 yards on six plays to score on a 48-yard Elway-to-Vance Johnson pass on the last play of the third quarter. The two teams both punted three times in the fourth quarter, and the last one, a Mike Horan punt of 54 yards, backed New England to its own 10-yard line. On first down, Eason dropped back to pass but was sacked for a safety by Jones. Denver recovered the onside free kick and held on to the ball and the win. Elway completed 13-of-32 passes for 257 yards with one score, and Sammy Winder rushed for 102 yards on 19 carries. Johnson led the Broncos with 89 receiving yards. Defensively, four different Denver players had at least one sack.

1984 AFC Divisional Playoff Game

DENVER BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos, after posting the most regular-season wins in franchise history with a 13-3 record, lost an AFC Divisional Playoff Game to the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-17 in front of 74,981 fans at Mile High Stadium. Denver had two possessions in the final two minutes of the game with a chance to tie but failed to score as Pittsburgh advanced to the AFC Championship Game. The Broncos’ opportunistic defense recovered two Steelers fumbles in the first quarter. Denver was unable to capitalize on the first takeaway with Rich Karlis missing a 39-yard field goal attempt. Pittsburgh then lost a fumble on its next play, setting up a 9-yard touchdown pass from John Elway to running back Jim Wright that gave the Broncos a 7-0 lead. Pittsburgh scored on a 28-yard field goal on the first play of the second quarter, and just before halftime, the Steelers took a 10-7 lead on Frank Pollard’s 1-yard touchdown run. Denver tied the game early in the third quarter on a 21-yard Karlis field goal. The Broncos regained their lead midway through the quarter on their next possession, scoring on a 20yard pass from Elway to wide receiver Steve Watson. The Steelers answered with a scoring drive of their own, tying the game at 17 on a 10-yard Mark Malone-to-Louis Lipps pass 11:41 into the third quarter. A turnover by the Broncos late in the game set up the Steelers’ game-winning touchdown. Pittsburgh’s Eric Williams intercepted an Elway pass and returned it to the Denver 2-yard line with only 2:45 left in the game, and two plays later, Pollard scored on a rush to give the Steelers a 24-17 advantage. Denver couldn’t move the ball on its final two possessions as time expired. Elway finished the game with 184 yards on 19-of-37 passing with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Watson led all players with 177 yards on 11 catches with one touchdown and a long reception of 52 yards. Pittsburgh’s defense limited the Broncos to just 51 yards on 22 carries (2.3 avg.) and held Denver to just 4-of-13 (30.8%) success on third downs. The Steelers’ offense racked up 381 yards of total offense, and Malone completed 17-of-28 passes for 224 yards with one touchdown. Pollard led all players with 99 yards on 16 carries (6.2 avg.) and scored a pair of touchdowns while Walter Abercrombie added 75 yards on 17 carries as part of a Pittsburgh ground game that totaled 169 yards.

1983 AFC Wild Card Playoff Game

DENVER BRONCOS

The Seattle Seahawks broke open a close contest against the Denver Broncos with two second-half Dave Krieg touchdown passes that propelled them to a 31-7 win in an AFC Wild Card Playoff Game in front of 60,752 fans at the Kingdome. It didn’t take the Seahawks long to get on the scoreboard as they traveled 62 yards on eight plays during their first offensive possession for a touchdown. Krieg connected with Steve Largent on a 17-yard scoring pass for a 7-0 lead with less than five minutes gone in the first quarter. Later that period, the Broncos came back to tie the game after they mounted a 9-play, 76-yard touchdown drive. The score came on a 13-yard pass from Steve DeBerg to Jesse Myles. Denver looked poised to take the lead, but Seattle cornerback Kerry Justin intercepted a DeBerg pass on the Broncos’ next drive to end the threat. Seattle drove to Denver’s 20-yard line, where Norm Johnson converted a 37-yard field goal. On its next possession, Denver drove to the Seattle 4-yard line, but a fumble by running back Gerald Willhite was recovered by safety Paul Moyer. The Seahawks were able to run out the clock in the first half and hold on to their 10-7 lead. The second half belonged to the Seahawks. Krieg passed for two more touchdowns and fullback David Hughes ran for another, making the score 31-7. In the third quarter, Seattle travelled 73 yards on five plays and scored on Krieg’s second touchdown pass of the game that went to tight end Pete Metzelaars. Krieg threw his third touchdown pass of the afternoon early in the fourth quarter to give Seattle a 24-7 lead. He found wide receiver Paul Johns for an 18-yard touchdown strike, which capped a 9-play, 61-yard drive. The Seahawks’ final points came late in the fourth quarter when Hughes scored on a 2-yard run. Despite totaling 360 yards of offense, Denver could not keep up with Seattle. Three turnovers—interceptions by DeBerg and John Elway along with a fumble by Willhite—proved to be the difference. DeBerg ended the game with 131 yards on 14-of-19 passing, and Elway added 123 yards on 10-of-15 passing in his first career postseason game. For the Seahawks, Krieg completed 12-of-13 passes for 200 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. He finished with a perfect 158.3 passer rating.

1979 AFC Wild Card Playoff Game

DENVER BRONCOS

Toni Fritsch kicked two field goals that provided the margin of victory as the Houston Oilers played strong second-half defense to defeat the Denver Broncos 13-7 in an AFC Wild Card Playoff Game at the Astrodome in front of 48,776 fans. Fritsch opened the scoring with a 31-yard first-quarter field goal, which capped an 11-play, 64-yard drive. Denver came back to take a 7-3 lead later in the opening period on a 7-yard pass from Craig Morton to running back Dave Preston. The scoring drive covered 80 yards on 11 plays. Houston went ahead to stay on a 3-yard run by Earl Campbell at 14:14 of the second quarter. The scoring drive totaled 74 yards on nine plays, but Campbell was injured on the touchdown run and did not return to action in the second half. Houston took the 10-7 lead into halftime. After a scoreless third quarter, Denver linebacker Bob Swenson intercepted a Gifford Nielsen pass at the Oilers’ 26yard line midway through the fourth period. However, two sacks of Morton led to a 50-yard field goal attempt by Fred Steinfort that hit the upright. On the ensuing possession, the Oilers drove for a second field goal by Fritsch, this one from 20 yards that provided the final victory margin for Houston. Denver drove to the Houston 27-yard line at the 2-minute mark, but the Oilers’ defense again rose to the occasion to stifle the threat and secure the win. Oilers quarterback Dan Pastorini and wide receiver Ken Burrough left the contest due to injuries early in the second half, putting a severe crimp in the Houston attack. But the Broncos were able to move the ball for only 216 yards, and the tenacious Houston defense sacked Morton six times for 40 yards on the afternoon. Morton finished the game with 144 yards on 14-of-27 passing with one touchdown and one interception. On the ground, Houston’s defense held the Broncos to just 51 yards by Otis Armstrong and 29 by Larry Canada. Denver also was limited to 4-of-13 (30.8%) success on third down and was forced to punt six times in the contest. For Houston, Pastorini threw for 149 yards on 8-of-18 passing with one interception. Campbell rushed for 50 yards on 16 carries and Carpenter added 59 yards on 16 carries.

1978 AFC Divisional Playoff Game

DENVER BRONCOS

Two fourth-quarter touchdown passes by Pittsburgh quarterback Terry Bradshaw lifted the Steelers to a 33-10 victory against the Denver Broncos in an AFC Divisional Playoff Game in front of 48,921 fans at Three Rivers Stadium. Bradshaw threw a 45-yard scoring pass to John Stallworth and a 38-yard touchdown to Lynn Swann in the final period, capping a brilliant performance by the Pittsburgh passer. The Broncos took a 3-0 lead midway through the first quarter on a 37-yard Jim Turner field goal. The Steelers controlled the game following the score, however, posting 16 unanswered points to build a comfortable lead. Pittsburgh running back Franco Harris scored his first touchdown of the game on a 1-yard plunge that capped an 8-play, 66yard drive. After the missed extra point attempt, the Steelers held a 6-3 lead at the 12:27 mark of the first quarter. The Steelers increased their lead on Harris’ second touchdown of the game early in the second quarter. He scored on an 18-yard run that gave Pittsburgh a 13-3 advantage before Roy Gerela’s 24-yarder upped its margin to 16-3 later in the quarter. Denver moved to within six points, 16-10, on a 3-yard Dave Preston touchdown run with two minutes left in the first half. But with just seven seconds remaining in the second quarter, Gerela kicked another field goal, a 27-yarder, that sent the Broncos into the locker room trailing 19-10. Denver threatened to pull closer in the third quarter, but Turner’s 29-yard field goal attempt was blocked. Early in the fourth quarter, Bradshaw found Stallworth for a 45-yard touchdown pass to cap a 4-play, 71-yard drive. A short time later, Swann hauled in a 38-yard touchdown pass from Bradshaw that put the Steelers ahead 33-10. Pittsburgh recorded 425 yards of total offense with Bradshaw accounting for 272 through the air. He completed 16-of-29 (55.2%) passes to go along with the two touchdowns. Stallworth led all players with 156 yards on 10 receptions, and Swann finished with 52 yards on two catches. The eventual World Champion Steelers limited the Broncos’ offense to just 218 yards. Broncos quarterback Norris Weese finished the game with 118 yards on 8-of-16 passing and was sacked five times. He also was Denver’s leading rusher, accounting for 43 yards on four carries.

Super Bowl XII

DENVER BRONCOS

The Dallas Cowboys evened their Super Bowl record at 2-2 by defeating the Denver Broncos 27-10 in Super Bowl XII before a sellout crowd of 76,400 fans at the Louisiana Superdome and 90 million television viewers, the largest audience ever to watch a sporting event at the time. Dallas converted two interceptions by safety Randy Hughes and cornerback Aaron Kyle into 10 points in the first quarter. Efren Herrera added a 43-yard field goal in the second quarter to give the Cowboys a 13-0 halftime advantage. The Denver offense struggled through the first two quarters. Playing in their first-ever Super Bowl, the Broncos ended the opening half with five giveaways (3 fumbles, 2 interceptions) on their final five possessions. The Broncos came back momentarily to start the third quarter when Craig Morton engineered a drive to the Cowboys’ 30yard line, where Jim Turner booted a 47-yard field goal to make the score 13-3. After an exchange of punts, Dallas wide receiver Butch Johnson made a spectacular diving catch in the end zone to complete a 45-yard pass from Roger Staubach and put the Cowboys ahead 20-3 at 8:01 of the third quarter. On the ensuing kickoff, the momentum swung back to the Broncos when Rick Upchurch returned the kick 67 yards to the Dallas 26. Norris Weese relieved Morton at quarterback on the second play of the series with Morton, who was intercepted only eight times during the regular season, having thrown a Super Bowl-record four interceptions in the contest. Weese provided a spark, guiding the Broncos to a touchdown (1-yard run by Rob Lytle) that cut the Dallas lead to 20-10 with 5:39 left in the third. But Dallas clinched the victory when running back Robert Newhouse threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to Golden Richards on an option play at 7:56 of the fourth quarter. The Cowboys’ offense totaled 325 yards while their defense limited the Broncos to 156 yards for an average of 2.7 yards per play. Dallas also won the time-of-possession battle by posting a 38:34-to-21:26 advantage. Staubach completed 17-of-25 (68.0%) passes for 183 yards with one touchdown for a 102.6 passer rating. Defensive end Harvey Martin and defensive tackle Randy White, who were named co-MVPs, led a Cowboys defense that posted eight takeaways (4 fumbles, 4 interceptions) for the game.

OFFICIALS: Referee — Jim Tunney (32); Umpire — Joe Connell (57); Line Judge — Art Holst (33); Head Linesman — Tony Veteri (36); Back Judge — Ray Douglas (5); Field Judge — Bob Wortman (84).

Denver quarterback Craig Morton threw two touchdown passes to wide receiver Haven Moses that helped the Broncos defeat the defending Super Bowl champion Oakland Raiders 20-17 in the AFC Championship Game in front of 74,982 fans at Mile High Stadium. Morton completed 10-of-20 (50.0%) passes for 224 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, guiding the Broncos to their first-ever Super Bowl berth. The win was the Broncos’ second against the Raiders in three meetings with the club during the 1977 season. The Raiders scored on their initial possession when Errol Mann kicked a 20-yard field goal to end an 18-play, 54-yard drive 10:34 into the first quarter. Morton connected with Moses for the Broncos’ first touchdown two plays later on a 74-yard scoring pass, giving Denver a 7-3 advantage. Despite several Raiders comeback attempts, the Broncos did not surrender the lead for the remainder of the game. Denver took advantage of two costly Oakland turnovers to increase its lead in the second half. Defensive end Brison Manor recovered running back Clarence Davis’ fumble at the Oakland 17, and running back Jon Keyworth scored from the 1-yard line to increase the Broncos’ lead to 14-3 at 6:23 of the third quarter. Oakland quarterback Ken Stabler found tight end Dave Casper for the first of two scoring passes, a 7-yarder, to narrow the Denver lead to 14-10 with 39 seconds elapsed in the final period. On Oakland’s next possession, linebacker Bob Swenson intercepted a Stabler pass to put the Broncos in position for another score. Morton then threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Moses for the Broncos’ final score at 7:17 of the period, giving the club a 20-10 advantage. Oakland finished the scoring on its next series when Stabler threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Casper with less than four minutes to play. Denver controlled the ball for the final 3:08 and gave Red Miller the AFC title in his first year as head coach. Moses, a 10-year veteran, led all players with 168 yards on five catches (33.6 avg.) with two touchdowns. On the ground, Denver ran 37 times and used a balanced attack to gain 91 yards with Lonnie Perrin leading the way (11 carries, 42 yards). The Denver defense, which was No. 1 in the NFL against the run during the regular season, held the Raiders to 94 rushing yards (2.6 avg.) and limited Oakland to just 204 passing yards while adding one interception and one sack.

1977 AFC Divisional Playoff Game

DENVER BRONCOS

After ties at 7, 14 and 21, Jim Turner kicked a 44-yard field goal in the fourth quarter that put Denver ahead to stay as the Broncos beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 34-21 in an AFC Divisional Playoff Game in front of 75,011 fans at Mile High Stadium. Denver, in its first-ever playoff game, took a 7-0 lead when running back Rob Lytle broke through the Steelers’ defense to score on a 7-yard run midway through the first quarter. The score came four plays after a Steelers punt was blocked by John Schultz and recovered at Pittsburgh’s 17-yard line. Pittsburgh pulled even in the second quarter when quarterback Terry Bradshaw scampered in for a 1-yard score. Later in the period, linebacker Tom Jackson recovered a fumble at Pittsburgh’s 10-yard line that set up a 10-yard touchdown run by Otis Armstrong on the next play to give Denver a 14-7 lead. The teams entered halftime tied at 14 after Franco Harris scored on a 1-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter. The Broncos regained the lead, 21-14, when Riley Odoms hauled in a 30-yard pass from Craig Morton for a third-quarter touchdown. Pittsburgh answered early in the fourth quarter with a 1-yard touchdown pass from Bradshaw to Larry Brown. Midway through the final quarter, Denver went on top to stay on the strength of a 44-yard field goal by Turner. On their next drive, the Broncos opened up a 6-point lead when Turner hit a 25-yard field goal with just less than six minutes left in the game. Denver then put the contest out of reach when Morton tossed his second touchdown of the game on a strike to Jack Dolbin from 34 yards out. The score was set up after Jackson intercepted his second pass of the game, giving the Broncos the ball on Pittsburgh’s 33-yard line. Morton finished the game completing 11-of-23 passes for 164 yards with two touchdowns as the Broncos racked up 258 yards of offense against one of the NFL’s top defenses. Odoms led all players with five receptions for 43 yards, and Moses chipped in 45 receiving yards on two catches. Denver’s “Orange Crush” defense kept the Steelers off balance all game, holding Bradshaw to just 177 passing yards on 19-of-37 attempts and intercepting him three times. Jackson posted three takeaways (2 interceptions, 1 fumble) while Broncos safety Billy Thompson registered a team-high 13 tackles, including 10 solo stops, to help the club earn the first postseason win in franchise history.

OFFICIALS: Referee — Gene Barth (14); Umpire — Paul Trepinski (22); Line Judge — Royal Cathcart (16); Head Linesman — Frank Glover (85); Back Judge — Bob Rice (80); Field Judge — Ed Merrifield (76).

*Season tickets sold out. Every Broncos home game at Mile High Stadium (1970-2000) and INVESCO Field at Mile High (2001-10) has been a sellout since the beginning of the 1970 season with the exception of two replacement games played during the 1987 strike (both games were sold out before the strike). The Broncos have thus sold out 317 consecutive regular-season games, and with postseason games the total reaches 332.

WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME DENVER BRONCOS? The name “Denver Broncos” was chosen from 500 entries in a name-the-team contest in January 1960. The name was suggested by Ward M. Vining of Lakewood. But the football team isn’t the first Denver Broncos. Denver’s 1921 entry in the Midwest Baseball League was also called the Broncos. 548

BRONCOS

RETIRED JERSEY NUMBERS The Denver Broncos have retired three jersey numbers in their 51-year history: the No. 7 worn by quarterback John Elway (1983-98), the No. 18 worn by quarterback Frank Tripucka (1960-63) and the No. 44 worn by running back Floyd Little (1967-75). The most recent addition was Elway’s, retired on Sept. 13, 1999, in a ceremony at halftime of the Broncos’ season-opening game vs. Miami. John Elway, who wore number 7 from 1983-98, led the Broncos to five Super Bowl appearances and two World Championships and retired ranked second in nearly every all-time NFL passing category. Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2004, he passed for 51,475 yards and 300 touchdowns in his 16-year career and retired as the all-time winningest starting quarterback in NFL history with a career mark of 148-82-1 (.643). Elway was named Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl XXXIII, leading Denver to its second consecutive World Championship with a 34-19 defeat of the Atlanta Falcons, becoming the first player in NFL history to close his career by earning Super Bowl MVP honors in his final game. His image was forged early in his career as he developed a reputation for leading the Broncos to victory against seemingly insurmountable odds. Elway directed the Broncos on an NFL-record 47 fourth-quarter or overtime, game-winning or game-saving drives in his legendary career. Elway was inducted into the Denver Broncos’ Ring of Fame in 1999—the first inductee for whom the customary five-year waiting period was waived. The only other players to wear No. 7 in franchise history were quarterbacks Mickey Slaughter (1963-66) and Craig Morton (1977-82).

Frank Tripucka, who wore number 18 from 196063, was Denver’s first quarterback and helped lay the foundation for the club’s future success. One of the original Broncos, Tripucka played in the American Football League All-Star Game in 1962 and passed for 7,676 yards in his Denver career. His best statistical season came in 1960 when he completed 248-of-478 passes (51.9%) for 3,038 yards with 24 touchdowns. Tripucka’s career passing total still ranks sixth in franchise history, and his single-game record of 447 yards at Buffalo on Sept. 15, 1962, remained the franchise record until broken in 2000. He ranks sixth in completions (662) and fifth in attempts (1,277) as well as seventh in touchdown passes (51) in club history while also guiding Denver to its first .500 season with a 7-7 mark in 1962. Tripucka was inducted into the Broncos’ Ring of Fame in 1986. Tripucka is the only player in Broncos history to wear No. 18.

Floyd Little, who wore number 44 from 1967-75 with the Denver Broncos as well as during his legendary college career at Syracuse, retired as the Broncos’ alltime career leader in rushing yards (6,323) and total touchdowns (54). He held both marks until 1998 when they were eclipsed by Terrell Davis, and he was the club’s all-time leader in career combined yardage (12,173) until he was passed by Rod Smith in 2006. Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010, Little was All-AFL in 1969, played in two AFL All-Star Games (1968, ‘69) and was named to three Pro Bowls (1970-71, ‘73). When Little retired, he ranked seventh in NFL history in career rushing yards. He joined the Broncos in 1967 as the club’s No. 1 draft choice, becoming the first No. 1 pick to sign with the team in its eight-year history. During his career, Little helped the Broncos to their first winning seasons in 1973 and ‘74 with back-to-back 7-5-2 and 7-61 marks, and he retired in 1975 with Denver just two years away from its first Super Bowl appearance. He was inducted into the club’s Ring of Fame as part of its inaugural class in 1984. The only other players to wear No. 44 in franchise history were defensive back Miller Farr in 1965 and halfback Bruce Starling in 1963.

The Denver Broncos Ring of Fame was created in 1984 by team owner Pat Bowlen to honor former players and administrators who played significant roles in the franchise’s history. The Denver Broncos Ring of Fame roster grew to 22 in 2009 when tight end Shannon Sharpe (1990-99, 2002-03) joined the Ring’s distinguished membership. Before Sharpe’s induction, the most recent additions came in 2007 when running back Terrell Davis (1995-2002) was inducted, in 2003 when safety Steve Atwater (1989-98) was honored and in 2003 when tackle Gary Zimmerman (1993-97) was enshrined. In 2001, linebacker Karl Mecklenburg (1983-94) and safety Dennis Smith (1981-94) were named Broncos Ring of Famers. Quarterback John Elway (1983-98) was inducted into the Ring of Fame in 1999 in a ceremony held at halftime of the Broncos’ season-opening Monday Night Football game vs. Miami on Sept. 13, 1999. As testament to the legend he established during his 16-year career, Elway is the only inductee for whom the customary five-year waiting period was waived. Elway’s induction was the first since 1993 when cornerback Louis Wright (1975-86) joined the Ring of Fame, a year after linebacker Tom Jackson (1973-86) entered the Ring in 1992. Linebacker Randy Gradishar (1974-83) was the only 1989 inductee, following the 1988 inductions of quarterback Craig Morton (1977-82), wide receiver Haven Moses (1972-81) and kicker Jim Turner (1971-79). Former defensive back Bill Thompson (1969-81) was honored in 1987, and three players joined the elite group in 1986: quarterbacks Frank Tripucka (1960-63) and Charley Johnson (1972-75), and defensive end Paul Smith (1968-78). In 1985, former owner Gerald H. Phipps became the first non-player to have his name placed on the Ring. The Ring of Fame was established in 1984 with an inaugural class of four members: running back Floyd Little (1967-75), defensive end Rich Jackson (1967-72), wide receiver Lionel Taylor (1960-66) and safety Austin “Goose” Gonsoulin (1960-66). The Ring of Fame is displayed on the Level 5 façade of INVESCO Field at Mile High. The following are biographical sketches of each of the 22 Ring of Fame members.

QUARTERBACK

CAREER—REGULAR SEASON: John Elway, whose No. 7 jersey was retired on Sept. 13, 1999, in a ceremony at halftime of the Broncos’ season opener vs. Miami, capped his brilliant career in 1998 by winning Most Valuable Player honors in Super Bowl XXXIII, leading the Denver Broncos to their second consecutive World Championship. Following his playing career, Elway was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Aug. 8, 2004, in a ceremony held at Fawcett Stadium in Canton, Ohio. He wrapped up his stellar career by posting the highest quarterback rating of his career (93.0) in his final campaign. At the close of the 1998 season, Elway ranked second among active NFL players for number of appearances with one team (234) and retired having played in and started more games (231) in more seasons (16) than any player in Denver Broncos history. Elway, who retired as the NFL’s all-time winningest starting quarterback (148-821; .643) and currently trails only Brett Favre in career victories, was voted to a franchiserecord nine Pro Bowl appearances (1986 season, ‘87, ‘89, ‘91, ‘93, ‘94, ‘96, ‘97 and ‘98)—tied for the most ever by a quarterback (Favre, Dan Marino, Warren Moon)—and as a starter six times (‘87, ‘89, ‘93, ‘96, ‘97 and ‘98). He was the NFL’s Most Valuable Player in 1987 and AFC Player of the Year in 1993, and he was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week 15 times and AFC Offensive Player of the Month twice. Elway was named the Edge NFL Man of the Year for 1992 and was inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame in 1999 while also being named to the NFL’s All-Decade team for the 1990s (first team). He ranks third behind Favre and Marino in most major NFL career passing categories, including passing yards (51,475), attempts (7,250) and total offense (54,882). He also figures fourth in NFL history in completions with 4,123, fifth in total touchdowns with 334 (300 passing/33 rushing/1 receiving), fifth in passing touchdowns with 300, second among NFL quarterbacks in career rushing attempts (774) and sixth at his position in rushing yards (3,407). Elway is the only player in NFL history to pass for more than 3,000 yards and rush for more than 200 yards in the same season for seven consecutive years (1985-91). He generated 4,771 of the 5,806 points (82.2%) scored by the Broncos during his 16-year tenure with the club. Elway ranks No. 1 in NFL history in fourth-quarter, game-winning or game-saving drives with 47 (46-0-1 record) and had 36 career 300-yard passing games in the regular season, third among active quarterbacks at the time of his retirement (Marino, Moon). He also caught three passes in regular-season play for 61 yards, including a touchdown of 23 yards from Steve Sewell in 1986. In 1997, Elway broke his franchise record for consecutive passes without an interception with the streak reaching 189 attempts. For his career, Elway had 19 games in which he completed 70 percent or more of his passes (min. 20 att.) and fashioned a 17-2 record in those games. He started 2,595 drives as a pro and was replaced just 10 times due to injury (.039%).

As a senior, Elway was a consensus All-American and finished second in Heisman Trophy balloting while setting virtually every Pac-10 and Stanford career record for total offense and passing. A twosport star, he played baseball for the New York Yankees’ Oneonta (N.Y.) single-A farm club in 1982, hitting for a .318 average and posting a team-high 25 RBI in 42 games.

He completed 60 percent of his high school passes for 5,711 yards and 49 touchdowns. The football field at Granada Hills High School was re-named in Elway’s honor in a ceremony on June 5, 1998. The Kansas City Royals selected him in the 18th round of the 1979 summer draft (June 5) although he already had signed a national letter of intent with Stanford. John’s late father, Jack, coached his son in the East–West Shrine contest in which John earned Offensive MVP laurels. Jack, who passed away in 2001, retired from the Broncos in 2000 after seven years with the club, the last five as the Director of Pro Scouting.

(*—the second number is the percentage the quarterback has put his team in position to score, allowing for missed field goal and subtracting those drives ended by the clock and replaced due to injury. #—drives for 1984 add to one more than drives started because Elway replaced Kubiak on one drive.) DRIVE-ENGINEERING NOTES: • For his career, Elway directed Denver to scores in better than 3 in 10 drives. When you adjust the figure as previously stated, the figures work to just over 40 in 100. • In 2,608 career drives started, he was replaced only 10 times due to injury (based on if a replacement QB earned at least one first down on the drive; that’s 0.383 percent, or 3.83 in 1,000). • As far as drive efficiency is concerned, Elway had his best seasons in 1995 and ‘98.

JOHN ELWAY’S FOURTH-QUARTER HEROICS For his career (1983-98), John Elway engineered 47 fourth-quarter or overtime, game-saving or game-winning drives for the Broncos, and the team had a record of 46-0-1 in those contests. Those games include: • 40 fourth-quarter or overtime, game-winning drives (marked below with an asterisk). The Broncos scored the winning points 23 times with fewer than three minutes remaining, 21 times under two minutes and 13 times with less than a minute left. • Seven fourth-quarter, game-tying drives. Denver went on to win six of those contests in regulation or overtime, and one game ended in a tie. The Broncos won in regulation vs. New England (11/4/84) and at Seattle (12/20/85). In overtime, Elway directed the game-winning drive in the AFC Championship Game at Cleveland (1/11/87) while the defense and special teams set up overtime wins vs. San Diego (11/17/85), at San Francisco (10/9/88) and at Seattle (10/22/89). The game at Green Bay (9/20/87) ended in a tie.
